The Lakers have been sluggish over these last couple of weeks, as they're either losing or playing teams too close for comfort. Still, the Lakers are the experienced team with expectations, and if they're going to keep pace in the standings they have to take advantage of games like this. It's that simple. Give me the Lakers.
