Wait. Wait. Wait. Stop the Lakerwagon. I think some people want to get off.

After two bad losses to two good teams, all of a sudden the Lakers were, as many “fans” put it, in trouble.  It’s still November, Pau’s out, Artest is still trying to learn the system, Odom is off in Candyland and D-Fish is showing some aging.  Oh, and Kobe is playing with a groin injury.

But all excuses aside, is this really surprising?  The Lakers have always had an arrogance about them, showing up to play when it matters, or after they get hammered by an opponent, or lose two straight, and they are notorious for taking nights off and blowing big leads.  Contrary to whatever Andrew Bynum says, the Lakers don’t have the focus or the attitude to beat 72-10.

And if you want proof of the above, just look at what the Lakers did to Detroit and the Bulls in their last two games: demolished them.  I said at the start of the season that there’s no point in watching the Lakers this season; just tune in during the Western Conference Finals. I still don’t see any team in the West beating the Lakers, although the Nuggets can clearly hang with them (despite their loss to the Clippers last night).

In other news: PAU’S BACK! The Lakers take on the Thunder tomorrow night at Staples. Looking forward to a good game…remember Durant took the Lake Show to OT in their last meeting.
