What a mess in LA to start the season, Bynum suspended, Kobe not at 100% and he has tons of off-court problems, and the Lakers are going to lose alot this year inside with Lamar gone and Bynum out for these first few games. Not to mention Ron Artest is now officially Metta World Peace. What a mess.
They looked really sluggish against the clippers in the preseason and Chicago looks to be at full strength and should be considered one of the top teams in the league with Miami and Oklahoma City this year .
