2013 Los Angeles Lakers Season Preview

The Lakers were another team that went out and improved by signing Steve Nash and acquiring the services of Dwight Howard.  This should be a really interesting year for the Lakers because they have a lot of new players playing that did not play with them last year.  Here is the Starting Lineup:

  PG. Steve Nash

   SG. Kobe Bryant

  SF. Metta World Peace

   PF.  Pau Gasol

  C. Dwight Howard

Sports Illustrated has the Lakers finishing 2nd in the Western Conference.  I would say that that is a little high for a team that has to find out how to play well with each other rather then against each other.  If they are able to play together they will be a very tough team to beat with 3 All-stars in the Starting lineup.  The other key for the Lakers is going to be staying healthy with all of the veteran players that they have. (Including Kobe Bryant.)  I would project that they finish 4th or 5th in the West due to inexperience playing together and the health of the veteran players.  With this being said they should still be able to make a good run in the playoffs.
