You know what makes the loss versus Magic even worse? We lost to a terrible team who was trying to tank! Imagine that. Haha. |

MDA: "But what had happened was......
Quote: | Mike D'Antoni gave a sort of state of the Lakers address, explaining their woes before the Magic game:
"It's a little bit of youth coming in. It's a little bit you get into an NBA trot, and we're not good enough to play [that way]. Miami can do that. They can have plays where, 'Oh, you're right. My fault.' We can't do that. Our margin to win is very limited because of injuries and stuff, so we have to play at a high caliber of intelligent basketball all the time, and we have to be engaged all the time. If we're not, we come up short, and we've been coming up short because there are times in the game where we're not quite focused like we should be. We're trying to work on it. It's not a criticism. To me, that's reality. And those are the things we talked about and things we can get better."
The following 48 minutes of basketball in Orlando only further proved his point. The Lakers just aren't very good right now, and they need just about everything to go right to even have a chance of beating a Magic team that came into Friday having lost 12 out of 13 games.
