Result:
LOSS

Last season was tough on Lakers fans as the organization that is used to winning, suffered through one of their worst seasons ever. Things aren't going to change much for the Lakers this season. Yes, Kobe is back, but two years out of basketball and 36-years-old, and no supporting cast, isn't going to make much difference. The Lakers are 0-4 with a combined losing margin of 17 points per game. They have already lost to this same Phoenix team by 20 points, and every team loves to come to LA and takes the Lakers down on their home floor, for all the punishment they have taken over the years. The uniform and venue alone prevent the letdown, but LA just doesn't have enough talent to stay in the hunt. Lay the points on Phoenix.
