]]> Suddenly all is right in the Laker universe. Phil Jackson restored order in New Orleans last night by making a last second lineup change. Back to the bench went Lamar Odom. Into the starting five came Andrew Bynum.

Wouldn’t you know…it worked like a charm as the Lake Show hammered the Hornets 103-88.

A team that hadn’t scored more than 82 points in their last three contests – all losses – had surpassed that point total in the third quarter. The ball moved as the Lakers shot a blistering 58% from the floor. Kobe Bryant put his shooting woes in the rearview by going 8 of 14, dropping 20 in 27 minutes. Pau Gasol still isn’t as assertive as he should be posting another double-double (11 and 12). The nice thing is that the Spaniard was looking like the efficient Pau of yore.

More importantly was that the defensive intensity was dialed back up to championship standards. To be sure, the Hornets were flat but a lot of that was due to the smothering Lakers’ defense that held the NO to 41% from the field. Former Laker Trevor Ariza had a miserable night scoring just 4 points while spending most of the night watching from the bench due to foul trouble.

Leave it to Phil to shake things up at the absolute perfect time. His late lineup shift proved genius.

]]> The problems are mounting for the Lakers and the solutions are nowhere to be found. Things started off well enough for the Lake Show in San Antonio tonight. Kobe Bryant hit his first three shots and there was even an early sighting of the infamous scowl. The intensity was there on both end of the floor as the offense was clicking and the defense was active and dominant.

After scoring 16 points in 6 minutes, the Lakers hit a lull. That would be an ominous sign of things to come as the offense got it going again in a brilliant second quarter before completely disappearing in the second half.

By the time the fourth quarter came around the wheels had fallen off and the Lakers were rolling on rims. Kobe’s quick start faded as he eventually went on an ugly streak. KB24 couldn’t buy a bucket. At one point Mamba missed a miserable 13 in a row. He got on a brief tear in the fourth but eventually that too ended.

There was no rhythm at all. This was like watching a dance competition at the Republican National Convention.
