After recent struggles coming into the new year with a blowout loss to Miami on Christmas day and being publicly criticized by their 11-time championship coach Phil Jackson after 2 more losses in a row, Kobe and the defending champs have begun to turn things around. To those who don’t understand the game of basketball it may seem as if teams are hot and cold as last week I blogged about the Heat’s 20 of 21 game wi ning streak but basketball is game of runs. Wins and losses in the NBA are parallel as things like road trips, consecutive games in a matter of days and injuries can affect the wins and loss columns of our favorite teams. The Lakers are by far the most talented team in the league on paper especially with their off-season additions of playoff tested veterans Matt Barnes and Steve Blake. When the Lakers get focused and play team basketball they are the best team in the league and they deserved an #MYOL NBA spotlight for the week of January 9th – 15th. Hopefully, they can keep it going so they can lose to the Celtics in Game 7 of the 2011 NBA Championship (I’m calling it NOW!).
