Byron Scott wouldn't go on record as saying the Lakers will make the playoffs this coming season, but he vowed the team will surprise some of the naysayers.

"I expect us to compete every night," said Byron Scott on radio Thursday to "The Dan Patrick Show." The Lakers are "going to play a tough, physical brand of basketball and we're going to play defense."

So I think its great that he is saying all the right things. He knows its a town that takes its competition seriously. He knows that all of us hated the lack of emphasis on defense the last two seasons.

Good read. A slow stretch of the off-season. Enjoy!
