I've never been a big lakers fan, even more so now.

Rebounding seems to be a problem. Plus, besides Kobe and Lamar Odom, who else is going to score?

That rookie Sasha Vuajcic can score he has good handles but can't play D worth a lick. Chris Mihm is better then advertised pretty good shot blocker and he has decent footwork in the post. They need to block out better on the defensive boards they got owned by a smallish GSW team. Hopefully Kobe passes the freaking ball and keeps everyone involved.

i've read some article that Kobe has taken on a new role as good teammate. he organized an informal meeting among players, calling them personally. he worked out with players for the first time (i assume this meant lifting weights).

it seems he's driven to show that he can be a leader of the team, just as Shaq seems to want to prove that he's still....well, Shaq.
