Kobe Bryant injured his left foot so looking
more and more as if he very likely will be
out on the sidelines at opening NBA
season. Great bench this year to depend
on plus the fab four are noteworthy.
Namely: Pau Gasol, Steve Nash, Dwight
Howard and of course our Kobe Bryant.
The Clippers team are becoming actually
another L.A. team to notice now as well.
Good for competition we all feel.
One of our newer players on the Lakers
is Robert Sacre. A tall 7 ft. player that has
already proved his worth during the
exhibition games. Reserves could be
crucial to our seasons' successes.
Sacre is calling himself the Bruiser.
Jordan Hill and Antawn Jamison
are Lakers bench warmers also.
Both of these men can play minutes
for Pau Gasol and Jamison can spell
Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) too.
Jamison took a significant pay cut
to move to the Lakers and try to help
us win a championship.
Steve Nash is 38 and a huge offseason
surprise gift for the Lakers. He knows
the importance of a good bench. Neither
Steve (or) Kobe can play ridiculously
long minutes any more either.
The bench is like the starters and therefore
all of the players are trying right now to
figure this all out. Yes, they are working
harder and trying to make it all work and
yes, they are getting better but it is "a work
in progress" Steve Nash remarked.
We are all hopeful our bench can compete
with any one, so as they are still quite
young but yet quite good if they remain
steady, confidence will reign. "Being benched"
is not a bad thing any longer but rather
is a seemingly good place to be. At least
it feels to be right now at NBA beginning
season. They appear to have starring roles
and so we applaud their efforts and cheer
them on!
