The Los Angeles Lakers fanbase is already frustrated. Despite Lebron James’ tendency to struggle in his first quarter season with new teams, no one predicted an 0-3 start. And with a tough slate ahead, there’s no guarantee they’ll turn their record around any time soon. The Phoenix Suns are their best chance to get a win over the next few games.
After the Suns, they take on the Nuggets, Spurs, and Timberwolves. If they can’t beat Phoenix, they’ll have to win a tough game over the next three to avoid starting 0-7. That will be lost on no one if they’re unable to get a victory over the NBA’s worst team from a season ago.
