you have to think the team was in some kind of disarray; bynum must have spoken the truth. i would have expected kobe would have taken over the game but didn't; that was really telling. the lakers management decided to roll the dice this year realizing there would be no 3peat. they traded away sasha and didn't get a replacement 3-point shooter in return. they let farmar go and didn't bring in a quick guard as a replacement. no, the lakers did as best as they could with what they had. their bench (except for LO) cannot match the bench talent of the rest of the league.
