EIGHT LOSSES, SO NOW WHAT IS IN STORE?

Jeremy Lin is frustrated to say the least.
Lin has experienced an adversarial season
with the Lakers well before his demotion.
We have acquired Lin and a first-round
pick from the Rockets this off-season in
a salary dump to pursue Chris Bosh.
Although Lin has averaged 10.5 points on
43.6 % shooting, 4.5 assists and 2.3 turn-
overs, Scott has often pointed out Lin's
inconsistency with his play making, his
aggressiveness and his defense. Lin
makes this statement:"Iv'e gone from
getting cut in the D-League to starting
to playing heavy minutes in all these
different roles every week, I have to
keep staying aggressive when I get
out there". He further states, " I am
human. I have emotions." He played
on Sunday against the Houston Rockets
when we lost that game, score: 99-87.
Jordan Clarkson showed us his moves
on Sunday's game. He realizes though
that he still has a lot of work to do. He
knows for one thing, he must get into
sets faster."I do believe that in Friday's
game  I did a pretty good job", he said.
He definitely can get better and keeping
guys out of the paint is one thing to do.
He took a dose of reality on Sunday when 
he scored 8 points on just 2 of 10 shooting
with 2 assists and 5 turnovers in 27+
minutes. Scott  said he warned Clarkson the 
Rockets would try to speed him up & they did.
The harsh truth awaited Kobe Bryant. The Lakers
star visited with team doctor Steve Lombardo
on Friday for a re-examination after an MRI
suggested he had a torn rotator cuff in his
right shoulder.There are 4 muscles in the cuff.
Unlike the previous MRI + ultrasound, the 
muscle is torn now and requires surgery.
Even with the torn rotator cuff, Kobe Bryant
states this is not the end of the 2014-15
season and is not the way he will go out.
The Lakers now host Washington on Tuesday.
