Forget about winning a title ... it's about preventing to be the biggest embarassement in sports history by missing the playoffs ... which at this point is probable

1) Resign Dwight (as much as I hate Dwight right now, there's no better option and his health could improve by then)
2) Trade Gasol's expiring contract for a legit option
3) Get a backup PG & SF

Struggled to come up with positives. So here are some thoughts:
1. No heart from this team.
2. Why not more Jordan Hill?
3. God awful three-point shooting.
4. Some crap D.
5. Nash getting worked in the post. We need to address this problem; seems D'Antoni could've crossed up him and Kobe on D. Not sure why he didn't.
6. Awful, awful closes to quarters.

We just can't consistently defend. And thats what it comes down to. It wasn't turnovers, or free throws, we just could not defend. As bad as our bigs played, if we stringed together 4 consecutive stops at any point in that fourth quarter, we take the lead. But we can't. Maybe its coaching, maybe its the players, but there's one thing for certain, if you still have championship aspirations, I highly advise you to open your eyes. Because they clearly don't.

It's not rocket science why our d sucks. Our back court is Nash and Kobe. Nash was alway a liability on d and even more so now. Then you have Kobe. He's about as bad as Nash right now. He can't keep anyone in front of him and is terrible at p&r defense and staying disciplined with his man. When your starting backcourt can't keep anyone in front of them, u got serious issues.
