No ones produces storylines like Los Angeles, and I mean nobody. Whether it's your All Star PF Pau Gasol disappointed in his role, team captain Derek Fisher urging to fight through it, or wondering what could have been with Brian Shaw, there is always something to talk about, always something to tweet. Even retired players are jumping into the mix, leaving us plots and subplots worthy of a day-time Emmy.
In what has become a grueling season, it's hard to believe only one-fourth of it has come and gone. A quarter into the season, we begin to see a better picture of where teams might stand once April arrives. Let's hope that by then, our Lakers can work out some of their issues and hopefully don't have to face Hibbert again, anytime soon.
