The Los Angeles Lakers started the season 2-1 and face the New York Knicks tonight at madison sqaure Garden (Catch it for free with NBA League Pass here).
Too many people are jumping on the Clippers bandwagon and writing off the Lakers, if you've got Kobe you've got a chance. He hasn't got as much in his legs anymore but he is still the best closer in the game today, look at the christmas day game against the bulls he made clutch plays especially his memorable fadeway over Deng. Yes he turned it over in the last 20 seconds with a horrible decision to throw a pass which was never going to work but you have to give credit to Deng and the bulls defence.
Secondly, the Lakers may not have Bynum healthy yet but McRoberts for me has been a beacon of hope. He's athletic for his size and provides alot of energy on the rebounding and defensive side, he's not the strongest downlow but he can get his fair share of shots and he seems to have gel'd well with the team (see video below).
Thirdly Blake, Steve Blake is really starting to fill his role considering last season he didn't shoot the three to his best ability only registering 0.374% in the season. Blake has come out this season with alot more confidence taking better shots more often and providing scoring LA will need from him this season.. On a final note Bynum is guaranteed to make a big difference when he returns. Im not saying LA are looking like the champs this season but I predict them making top 3 in the west this season easily.
