Unless their bench drastically improves no way. Man the Lakers bench is awful.

Can they honestly miss the Playoffs? Assuming Nash & Gasol come back it's simply too much experience to win less than 45 something games IMO...

Scott Howard ‏@ScottHoward42

If the last 2 yrs are a guide we're a month of sub .500 ball away from stories about freeing poor Steve Nash from the shackles of mediocrity

I think it's about time for us to think again.

I changed my vote from Let's see what Nash can do to They have no chance to make to the playoffs this team. This team has no soul

Worst defense in the NBA.

Kobe chucking

Pau playing like a pussy

worst bench in the league.

this team is a lottery team.
