Lakers at Cowtown game thread

[j.dizzle]

Defense seemed to be in a little malaise last night. The Lakers are capable of smothering defense, but this wasn't the case for a good majority of the game agianst the Kings. Can't be mad at a 5-0 record and a triple-double that Kobe messed around and got. The Odom scare was enough to make me take notice, but he seemed to be alright. He's been playing out of his glucose-ridden mind since FIBA, so, losing him would've been 10x worse than starting the season w/o Bynum. How much longer do the Kings stay in the Sacred Cow Palace? I'm guessing not that much longer...contraction or moving to a new locale will probably be the fate given to the Kings.

No point of wasting your energy on defense in the regular season when your offense is stackkkkkkkkkkked

So much of defense is effort and I think we'll see them conserve that effort quite a few times this season. As the ESPN announcers really hammered on last night, this team is pretty old by NBA standards. I don't have a problem with them taking it a little easy, even if it costs several games this year. They'll turn it up in the playoffs and big games.
