Bobcats always play us well for some reason.
Ron has done well the last few games at the 4. Team is shooting better and playing better team defense, and even Dwight's freethrows have edged up a bit. With Nash and Pau coming back soon, maybe the Lakers have weathered the storm? Too early to tell. I still think they can lose to anybody.

Steve Nash, on what's ailing the Lakers. He hit the nail on the head, IMO:
"The wings have to get to the corner to create space," Nash said. "The bigs have to run their man to create separation, and when they can get out quickly to create separation, when they can get a piece of their guy and get out quickly to the basket and when we create an advantage and that point guard is guarded by the big, then the flow opens up. "But if we don't get any separation from our men, we don't set good picks, and we don't get off the pick quickly, then they can just slide through and cover us and we're back to 5-on-5. "I think that's a dangerous position for our team because we don't create easy shots for each other and we have to take long, guarded shots which ends up killing our defense because then they run out on them. We need to get it going downhill a little bit, open up their defense and make them scramble a little bit to make room for our bigs down low and our point guards."

Down 16 at home to a team on a 11 game losing streak... When do we start shopping Gasol for guys who can play?

Remember before the season when you guys wanted Dwight and you said NO WAY to trading Bynum and Gasol for Howard?

Whatever. I don't care how we win games. We're showing a TON of progress, even though we still kinda suck.
If Jodie Meeks wasn't wet as hell in the middle of our slumber, that 18 point deficit woulda been around 25.
