The Los Angeles Lakers need to eat Skittles before games to win.

Via: @cjzero
In the NBA, the formula for success is simple and the Lakers, as a franchise is a living prove of it. The Gold and Purple was always successful because they have mastered this formula. It's easy, they put great players together and let them go to work. On the surface, it would seem like things would fall into place on their own, but Championships are not won by just purchasing multiple All Star players. It obviously takes more than that, and what better example of this, than the 2012-2013 Lakers. This team, built over the summer, put four future hall of famers together, all playing for a common goal. Expectations were high, and the Championship was supposed to be a sure-win. But after three months, those odds are looking bleak. The Lakers have only 39 more games left in their schedule, sitting at a record of 18-25, playoffs might even be out of the question. Evidently, this team has more than just problems on the court, and according to Dwight Howard, the negativity among teammates, fans and media is one of the issues. Coincidentally, he knows how to fix them as well. 

From ESPN:
"I'm just talking about negativity in general," Howard said. "That's like a dark cloud, and the more you feed into the negativity, the bigger it gets. So, we have to change that and we have to believe. For all the fans and everybody who support the Lakers, believe. Yes, we're struggling. Yes, it's not the best time to be a Laker fan or a Laker player, but we will get out of it. There's a rainbow on the other end. We just got to make sure we get to it. I don't know if we got to eat some more Skittles or whatever it may be, but we got to find a way."

Yep, the problem with the Lakers was just that they weren't eating Skittles before basketball games and not totally because of their terrible defense. Okay.

  7. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and
    tested to see if it can survive a twenty five
    foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know
    this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  11. I'm new to building sites and I was wanting to know if having your website title related to your articles and other content really that vital? I notice your title, "Blogger: The Basketball Machine " does appear to be spot on with what your website is about however, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

  15. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of
    plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content
    I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.

  16. Furthermore, there are options to these rings for those
    that come to feel that their vow of abstinence is strictly a particular challenge, as opposed
    to a community one. Many people prefer to buy a diamond promise ring from Super - Jeweler, which is considered one of the best,
    in terms of quality, prices and service. With the discovery of smaller-than-1-carat diamonds, the diamond industry started to market eternity rings and promise rings, featuring tiny diamonds around the shank.

  19. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
    1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  20. I'm wondering which blogging and site-building platform you might be running? I'm new to operating a blog and have
    been thinking about using the Ning platform. Do you consider this is a good
    platform to start with? I would be really thankful if I could ask
    you some questions through e-mail so I can learn a bit more before getting started.

  23. Nodules are simply under skin as solid protrusions which are usually extra
    painful and last long. You can also try a blended blend of a quarter cup of chickpeas, 25 % teaspoon of organic fresh lemon juice, and
    just a little bit of flax seed oil. Find out several of their differences, and how to choose the built to be right for you.

    Their analyzed styles stand for manhood in lots of alternative ideas
