Thanks for becoming a fan, Rob! How are you liking writing for B/R so far? I really enjoyed your Lakers piece. I am a huge NBA and Lakers fan and actually do some video analysis for B/R in our headquarters in San Francisco. I think you make some crucial points about the Lakers at times anemic offense, but was surprised you didn't spend more time picking apart their defense, which in my opinion is their biggest Achilles Heel. It sort of relates to what you said about the Lakers not being much of a fast break team because at the root of it — they simply aren't fast. The old age and lack of mobility create a huge disadvantage for the Lakers, especially in the context of the NBA today, which is a point guard driven league in which speed tends to dictate wins, just consider the Heat and OKC. Regardless, I have faith that the Lakers will find some type of effective rhythm, just not as quickly as anyone expected. Thanks again!

Hey Will, thanks for the praise. Yeah, I checked out some of your videos, very cool stuff. You are right on about the Lakers lack of athleticism. They are slow and old. My articles focus was on Brown's poor offensive philosophy, which is why I tried to stay from the defensive side of the Lakers game. When you think about it every single player in the Lakers starting line up (as well as most of the bench) has really poor lateral movement and is not a great perimeter defender. That is why the acquisition of Howard is so crucial to the Lakers success. Hopefully they'll find a way to funnel players baseline more to utilize his shot blocking ability (another thing that Phil was a strong believer in :) But I appreciate the feedback, and thanks for the read man! Have any advice for a new writer?
