L.A. Lakers? Title Defense on Hold?

The L.A. Lakers are quickly running into quicksand. They are losing basketball games faster than they can realize that their defense isn't as quick as it seems now. What they need to realize is that all championship contenders go through losing slumps. They have lost four games in a row. All losing slumps are no different from each other. All NBA teams go through losing slumps, especially championship contenders. What the Lakers need to realize now that they can shape up their defense and learn from this experience that this is no different from any of their losing streaks that they have experienced. They need to realize quickly as a team they can learn together from this losing streak or face quickly the long way to their third consecutive NBA title. If they are able to hold down the fort, then I believe the Lakers are in for a long haul if they can figure out why their defense has been slacking off. All teams go through it. This is a test for their adversity, a test of true character, true grit. If possible, the Lakers will be a better and tested playoff basketball team come May, if they can truly learn from this experience, this losing slump, the one slump Kobe Bryant, if Kobe Bryant says, winners take all the glory, then winners take all the glory. It is up to Kobe Bryant to decide what is best for his team to pull out of this losing slump. The Lakers need Kobe Bryant at his best to step up his game. This is what Kobe Bryant does for a living. Kobe, go out there and strut your stuff. Who cares what people think about how you spend your life lavishly in Los Angeles, instead of Philadelphia? You're a winner in your book and that's what you believe.
