Lakers Destroy Pistons, But the Struggles Aren’t Over Yet

Worried Los Angeles Lakers fans can now breathe a temporary sigh of relief after center Dwight Howard led the way in Sunday night’s victory against the abysmal Detroit Pistons. Howard scored 28 points and racked up seven rebounds in LA’s commanding victory. Although there’s positive energy amongst the Lakers, it could be short-lived, with some challenges coming in the following weeks which could raise more question marks. This includes a tough road game against the Utah Jazz, a home game to the Golden State Warriors and a tough test against the San Antonio Spurs. With Steve Nash being out at least a week at point guard, backup Steve Blake will continue to start, as the Lakers ruled out signing another point guard. It’s going to be difficult without Nash, especially if he misses a longer period of time than expected. The greatly hyped team will continue to improve, but don’t expect them to click until later in the season. Some say head coach Mike Brown is preventing the Lakers from succeeding, most would say that’s an understatement, one thing’s for sure, he won’t be the coach once the regular season ends. As long as the core players such as Kobe Bryant and Dwight are playing efficiently, playoffs is a lock. An expected championship? I’m sure most would agree that it’s not looking likely at the moment, but be patient Lakers fans. The post Lakers Destroy Pistons, But the Struggles Aren’t Over Yet appeared first on FootBasket.
