This team has always given us problems, regardless of what they are called or who plays on that team. I don't see us winning that game. _________________ New Beginings

Lakers WILL win this game!
On the flip side....after looking at the schedule, it gets uglier.

The only reason I made it was because I will be at the game & won't be able to join in LG until afterwards.
The next few are all yours!

This is a loss, 0-6 coming. Big Al will get too many easy shots in the paint and we have no answer for Kemba. This is the type of game where Kobe will struggle to score 20, the Hornets have too many good young, athletic defenders. Lance will probably play great as well, this could be a blowout.

New season starts now... if not, well then the next new season starts Nov 11th vs. Grizz or maybe Nov 12 vs. the Pelicans.
You never know with these former Cleveland Cavs coaches, they're capable of 0-8s or worse.

Sunday is very important for us to win. Looking at the schedule, if we lose on Sunday, we could very easily go 0-13 (before playing Denver at home on 11/23). A win would go a long way to boosting our confidence.
Go Lakers!

Players struggling early this season:
Quote: Lance Stephenson, Shooting Guard, Charlotte Hornets
2014-15 stats: 6.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 6 assists, 27% FG, 4 GP
Stephenson was signed to a lucrative deal in free agency this past summer and expected to form a big three in Charlotte alongside Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker.
Those plans may eventually materialize, but Stephenson has been unable to find a rhythm offensively with the Hornets and is admittedly frustrated with his performance.
The saving grace early on is the fact Stephenson has been able to make an immediate impact as a playmaker and on the glass.
