Good point. They were playing the Peja-less Kings last year and barely got through. No one is giving any excuses for their down fall for losing a role player.
It would be pathetic if the Lakers blamed their dethroning on the loss of Rick Fox. Peja is one of Kings top two players. Duncan is the best player in the game. As long as Kobe and Shaq are healthy their shouldn't be any excuse.
Luck the Fakers!! I hate Rick Fox! but i have a bad feeling... someone unknown.. like Pargo is gonna fill in.. and just explode... sigh.
