The good from the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss: (Folks we are really trying to find positives here!)
LeBron James was hot at the start?
Since this is a Los Angeles Lakers website (Plus the writer promised to stop using the word “stink” in articles!), it is polite to find positives for the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James did come out aggressive looking for his shot. He knocked down his first two shots from distance to open the game!

He finished with a stat line of 27 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. Who cares. Why? Read on and Lake Show Life will explain.
Trevor Ariza hit some shots!
Look, there might not be too many more games where Ariza shoots 3-5 from the field. Enjoy it while it lasts.
They play the Portland Trail Blazers next with no Norman Powell or C.J. McCollum due to being traded away.
As bad as the Lakers played last week against Portland, the Blazers were just as bad, maybe even worse. At least Portland had an excuse. Some of their players had their bags packed. Powell gave the Lakers the business last week scoring 30 points on 10/20 shooting and McCollum had 15 of his own. If that game ends up in a loss, the Los Angeles Lakers should start to think about developing the younger players and think about the offseason.
