08:18 AM ET 01.27 | To what should fans attribute the apparent decline of Metta World Peace? It turns out [World Peace's] career-low scoring numbers have nothing to do with his poor shooting stroke. It turns out World Peace's declining defense has nothing to do with his age (32) and decreasing lateral quickness. It turns out World Peace's conditioning has nothing to do with arriving to training camp out of shape. It has to do with one thing and one thing only. "I got bored with defense because it was so easy for me to stop people over the years," World Peace said after Thursday's practice. ... [Said Kobe Bryant:] "It's not something that's far fetched. He's a great defensive player. Sometimes it comes too easy."

I can see a lot of veteran players being bored to tears over this stupid mini-season. I'm sure a lot know they are going to the playoffs and are not getting into the flow as quickly as they would in a normal season
Biding their time. I think the Lakers and the C's are going to be there when the time comes ready for battle.
