]]> After watching the Lakers drop their third straight thanks to a 98-96 loss in Memphis a few things became crystal clear. In fact, it’s at the point now where you can just go down a check list of things that go wrong in Lake Show losses.

Let’s see…

Come out of the locker room with little to no energy to start the second half.

Check.

The Lakers were outscored 19-16 in a lackluster third frame.

Allow easy dribble penetration by a quick point guard who gets easy layups thanks to there not being an Andrew Bynum type presence in the middle.

Check.

Mike Conley abused the soft Laker D dropping 28 on a ridiculous 10 of 13 from the field.

Ignore Pau Gasol and instead jack up ill advised long range shots.

Check.

Kobe Bryant was a miserable 9 of 25 from the field scoring a very fool’s gold-esque 29 points.

]]> Phil Jackson is well known for his attachment to the Triangle Offense and Ron Artest is becoming famous for being lost in it. For Ron, it might as well be the Bermuda Triangle Offense. Picking up right where he left off in the playoffs, Ron looks as clueless on the court as Erik Spoelstra does on the sideline.

This past Sunday, Ron’s reluctance resurfaced as he gave up an open look in the corner and instead passed up the opportunity to try and tie the game. While that doesn’t illustrate his offensive confusion his declining numbers sure do. Offensively, Ron Ron is at an all-time low. From minutes played to points scored, Artest’s offensive stock is rivaling Bank of America for basement value.

Of course, for what’s expected of Artest, offense is an after thought. His defense has been as good as ever and his trademark intensity is still present as PJ can attest to after Sunday’s loss.
