Final Thoughts
A win out in LA against the Lakers used to mean something, but not any more.
The Lakers have degenerated into one of the most disappointing teams in the league, right up there with the Nets and Knicks.
Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol are all out of the lineup with injuries. The Sixers faced a starting five that contained the likes of Jordan Farmar, Jodie Meeks (remember him?), Jordan Hill, Shawne Williams, and Wesley Johnson.
They’re a team that has very little depth, and serious questions about their future.
This was just the second time this year that the Sixers have won a road game. They’re now 2-13 away from Philadelphia.
