[McLovin]

The Lakers are the type of organization that he functions best in. Highly controlled, organization commands respect, and has a strong coach and a strong, undisputed "alpha dog" team leader.

The Lakers didn't sign him as an offensive player, they brought him in for his defense. He has always been known mainly as a defensive player (he won Defensive Player of the Year in the past and has been in the top 5-10 rated defenders in the league many years). I think he's generally been considered a good fit for the Lakers, as he's been doing his job (it's Odom and Bynum that often fail to "show up" for games, along with almost all of the Lakers' bench players).

That was a "redemption" play for him at the last second! He almost gave the game away with those really ill-advised and unnecessary 3 point bomb attempts at the end of the game.

That was a "must win" for the Lakers. The Suns haven't lost a single home playoff game, and probably will win Game 6. Game 7 in LA will be a barn-burner.
