Lowe: The Lakers have no excuses

Ten things as we move into March:

1. Sympathy and tank wishes for the Lakers

Paul Pierce suggested on The Jump the Lakers shut down LeBron James -- the guy who wants to be considered the greatest player in history. Mike Greenberg has pointed out the utility of the Lakers tanking after suspensions, trade drama and injuries -- including LeBron's groin issue -- killed their chances of a high playoff seed.

This is LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers -- perhaps the greatest player and organization in basketball history. They do not combine forces to tank.
