The Lakers have major talent and your team should be back for a number of years. However speaking as an old man they have some horrible chemistry lockerroom problems. If you Laker fans can get that sorted out, maybe you can expose those guys causing the lack of team play. It is not obvious who is causing the issues and it will take some digging and rewatching the games.
If I am guessing, it has to do with the players trying to be something they are not and everyone not focusing on their strengths. Gasol and Odom should always be major factors and tey are not. It seems that they try to post up and they aren't strong enough for that. However by moving (and someone actually throwing them the ball when they are moving) they are extremely dangerous.
Good luck getting it sorted out. It would be a great series if they do.
