This is just the beginning…
The season is going to be as crazy as the crowd. Opening night is always a very big event, and with the league completing its 75 year anniversary, it’s even bigger. Sad that the Lakers had to endure a loss in front of such big names.
However, all faith is not lost because this is just one game. The purple and gold still have a shot at the title, as long as they bring back some chemistry. Moreover, Westbrook needs to pull out his A-game as well. If they are able to hold on until all their players are healthy, nothing would be better.
