Now lets look at the Lakers. They are at a 15-19 record. A very disappointing start for Lakers fans everywhere. Kobe Bryant has been outstanding with 30.2 PPG and 5.2 RPG. But one man cannot win the championship.
They recently lost Dwight Howard due to a shoulder injury. In the games he's played he has 17.3 PPG and 12.4 RPG. They also lost Pau Gasol to a concussion, but in the games he's played he has 12.2 PPG and 8.8 RPG. Dwight and Pau need to up their game if they want to go deep into the season. Steve Nash has 10.8 PPG and 8.9 APG. Metta World Peace 13.6 PPG and 5.8 RPG. Now off the bench they have Antown Jamison with 6.8 PPG and 4.5 RPG. Jodie Meeks has 8.6 PPG, I think they need to find him in the corner more.
Will they make the playoffs? I think they will at around a 5-8 seed and could give other teams some trouble.
