Ugh.

This is terrible.

But realistically, barring major injury, the Lakers are going to take the Pacific Division. Even still, how bad is this team if one of the big four goes down? Let's say the Lakers need to roll with Kobe, Pau and Dwight for a month. Or Nash, Kobe, and Pau. Or Nash, Pau and Dwight. It doesn't matter. They'll still be better than most of the teams they'll face.

As a fan of beautiful basketball, it will be impossible not to appreciate this Lakers team. Even if I hate them, I can appreciate them. But they'll go through struggles just like any other team. And maybe it won't work out as planned. Maybe they'll struggle. Maybe they'll stumble. Maybe.

Ugh.

This is terrible.
