Well as my old high school football coach would say ‘Well, that ain’t worth a crap!’ As the Lakers lose the season opener vs the defending champions that knocked them out of the playoffs a season ago, is it all doom and gloom or were there positives in this game that could inspire hope?

JC takes you through the loss and examines if it’s time to panic or simply just 1 of 82 and sometimes losses are inevitable. We’ll go through the box score and see where improvement might be needed, or what else to look forward to this season. It’ll be a long one, folks, as they always are, but at least this is a scrappier bunch than we’ve seen before.
