Lakers are losing it. Yup. No doubt. They lost two games in a row for the first time this season, first to the Miami Heat 89-87 and then to the Orlando Magic 109-106. The sad thing is, they are facing the same problem-defense. The Lakers lack defense. The only reason they can win games is because they have a good offensive night. Take away good offense, the Lakers have nothing to fall back on. Its time Phil Jackson restructures his defense before they loose 3 in a row.
On the other hand, the Boston Celtics are red hot winning 17 games in a row. They are currently favourites to win the Championship this season. Don't forget the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are hot too. LeBron is also hinting of extending his contract with the Cavaliers. They better hold onto him tight if they have hopes on a championship soon.
