With all of our depth, it would be great finding out our most effective line-up. I'm looking for something like +/- figures for each line-up, % of Total Rebounds Available, eFG%, things like that up. I ask because at some point (although its probably early for this) I think the Lakers will have to find out what their best line-up is for closing out tight games. Its good to have separate first and second line-ups, but our most effective line-up is probably some mix of the two, possibly Bynum-Gasol-Ariza-Kobe-Farmar, or some variation on that.

But, it would be nice if Detroit and Boston could both lose the game tonight. 39: its not like playing the Lakers on the second of a back to back was a problem for Detroit.

They get Boston tonight after playing in Cleveland last night and they played the Lakers after a TNT game in Denver the night before.

I think what Darius says is true, there are no surprises from them this year, and they didn't improve on their biggest weakness, their frontline depth.
