After winning their first preseason game against the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Lakers had a tough night against the Clippers.

Anyone remember the good times from the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Sacramento Kings a couple of nights ago. If you do…good! Hold on to those memories because this game wasn’t good. The Lakers looked listless and flawed losing to the Los Angeles Clippers 103-87.

Kyle Kuzma led the way with 15 points on 6-13 shooting. Rajon Rondo led the team with 10 assists, but only had three points. Brandon Ingram finished with ten. Lake Show Life has a check list of what the Lakers have to do to be successful and grow around LeBron James. Playing the Clippers would tell a lot about this team and how they would handle certain situations.

1.How long will LeBron James play?

He didn’t and it showed. I realize that the media can overstate things to the point that it is overkill when it comes to LeBron James. I realize that there are fans that get sick of hearing how great a player he is and how he makes his teammates better.

I realize that he can be taken for granted. If you fall under any of these categories…stop. He deserves the accolades and the attention. Get over it. Take this dude out of the equation and the next important event to look forward to for Lakers fans will be Adam Silver saying…

With the …th pick the Lakers select…

Man! This dude better stay healthy!
