Here are some very interesting facts regarding this year’s defense. Keep in mind Pau Gasol just returned – in result, two major blowouts – and that we’ve only had him for two games.

Now teams have to worry about to 7′ foot shot-blockers. Take a look at some of these stats:

The Lakers are #2 at .424

Only Portland is ahead of us.

Here are some other stats:…

#2 in 3pt FG% defense as well 29%
#4 in forced turnovers 16.2
#5 in steals 8.6 spg

    The Lakers wont be able to stop the Celtics when they meet in January. Paul Pierce will own Kobe once again.

      Who the hell are you? Are you a Kobe fan? If not then dont use his name. Man get the hell out of here. Celtics played bad teams and barely won and lost to some too. Whats your take on that?

    Amazing how when Artest comes to the Lakers, these stats go up. The Lakers were searching for defense and Artest is defense hungry. He loves playing defense and mix that with hunger for a ring, and you have yourself a beast.

    Glad we got him too.

  6. Short Dog says:

    Artest is putting it down on the defense of end.
    Lakers #1
    8 days 8 nights
