Blown out Friday by Oklahoma City, come back Saturday and beat a down Houston team, then lose handily to the Hornets. Kobe is pissed and Odom even had some things to say. But is that enough? The Lakers have shown throughout the season that they just want to get to the playoffs as soon as possible.
But are they going to want to finish this road trip off right? I think so. I think they go into Atlanta and show the Hawks that, once again, they do not belong among the league's elite. I think they win this game and play some hard defense. The Hawks are a good team, but I'm not a believer in them. They've won 8 in a row at home, but that streak ends tomorrow night.
Lakers moneyline is where I'm going here. Somebody convince me I'm wrong.
