Lakers Start Season 0-3 with Loss to Clippers

The Lakers are expected to be a title contender this season but so far they haven't looked like one.

The Lakers have lost to the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers so far this season. Game 3 on the schedule had them playing a home game (technically) to their in town (in house) neighbors the Clippers. Kobe Bryant showed up huge in this game scoring 40 points. More was needed, however, from his teammates. The Clippers would still win this game by ten 105-95. Five Clippers were in double digits with points, two of them were off the bench. Lakers now fall to 0-3 this season.

Should the Lakers start to worry about their chances on winning a title? The fans shouldn't but the team might want to pick up a few more practices together. Sure, Steve Nash did not play in this game but even when he was there they still need some work. The Lakers need some time to get there chemistry working. If they are still dropping games like these last three come January, then start to worry.

Until then, take some of Dwight Howard's advice and be patient.
