Last Night

So as everyone knows, unless you hibernated for the last year, the Lakers lost last night to the Pacers.  It wasn't the best game they played and it was one of them quarters where the Pacers were on fire and the Lakers couldnt't keep up.  It happens.  It's no fun losing but you can't win them all.  However, I really feel that this Lakers team can do something special, that they have what it takes to win it all and be the dominant force they once were.  They have the missing pieces this year.  Their bench is deeper and they are injury free as of today.  There aren't many teams who I feel can challenge them in the West.  The team that can is the Jazz.  If not for injuries, they'd be right up there with the Lakers.  They are just as deep and match-up well with the Lakers.  It's a long season and so we will have to wait and see what happens.  They have what it takes and Phil is the right man for the job.
