What they need to do is fix the defense right now. This team won't hit its student until January and post all star game.

That's fine and I don't think it's that doom and gloom over the Lakers, but they're still in a lot of trouble. Defense sure isn't going to get any better when Nash gets back. Lakers are putting themselves in such a hole early on, that any hope for homecourt advantage is pretty much all but gone. Homecourt matters sooo much in the NBA playoffs and the Lakers won't have it. This team is still really, reallly old and if they have to play all out down the stretch, it's going to take a lot out of them.
