Analyzing tonights Lakers loss against the Spurs. Jordan Hill is a monster rebounder and a good defensive player. He should be starting in my opinion. The Lakers bench scored 45 points tonight, still proving to be a top tier elite bench in the NBA. Now the problem is Boris Diaw and Tony Parker the French Connection was too much down the stretch for the Lakers to handle. A great sign of things to come was Wesley Johnson got hot in the 4th quarter. Xavier Henry took a big knee to the head, which I believe was a momentum killer to the Lakers offense. Pau Gasol stepped up and did all he can do to help out. Steve Nash sat out the 4th, reports are he is favoring a minor injury. Shawne Williams has been off his game and he is in need of a confidence booster to help him relax and play much better. Nick Young has been a disappoinment so far to me, and we have yet to see the Nick Young of the preseason. Steve Blake is just a pesky player and he is a role player that has been hit and miss from 3 point country his whole career. Jodie Meeks is playing very good basketball, he deserves a lot more playing time. Chris Kaman needs more PT. Lakers have no true, go to player other than Pau Gasol. Its a team with no expectations to win a championship so they got time to develop.-LFLH
