The guys over at DallasBasketball.com have given their “take” on the Lakers’ D for the first 5 games…
DallasBasketball.com: The blogosphere has created any number of fancy-schmancy explanations for the Lakers’ 5-0 start. “Strong-side zone defense’’. Gasol’s increasing unwillingness to get elbowed in his ugly mug more than twice. Stay-the-course stability. And all of it adds up to “Just so you know, we now think this whole NBA season is rather pointless on account of the Lakers’’.
But I’ll tell you what I’ve seen in my glimpses of LA’s games this year, and it casts an ominous cloud over the head of “I’ve-Got-To-Get-The-Troops-Ready’’ Dirk as he and the Mavs prepare for the 7:30 Tuesday visit from The Drama Queen and his Lakers:
LA refuses to let the other team’s best scorer score.

I noticed, as we probably all did, that LA completely stifled Tracy McGrady on Sunday, allowing him just three points (!) on 1-of-11 shooting. Now, T-Mac is complaining of suffering from some sort of ailment (yeah;he’s a puss). … but. … three points?
