Los Angeles Lakers: Man, have the Lakers finally figured things out? The Lakers jumped into the 8th seed for a playoff position this year by going 13-5 since February 1st. Kobe, over a two week span that ended this past Friday, averaged a whopping 35.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists, while shooting 55.6% from the field and 48% from three. That is just an incredible level of play. Dwight is also looking impressive, posting a very solid 15.4 points, 16 rebounds and 2.8 blocks this month.
