Lakers' porous defense leaves them winless
“It's really just the timing on things,” Kobe Bryant said following the Lakers' 116-106 defeat in Portland, dropping them to 0-2 after a winless preseason. “Twenty five turnovers—and they weren't really bad turnovers—we just have to work on guys being in the right places and things like that. Timing things.”

Well, he's right. It is timing. And the Lakers' timing stinks right now. It has nothing to do with the massive collection of turnovers so far in the first two regular-season games—39 giveaways for 45 opposition points. It's the timing of the losses—the first two real contests after eight exhibition defeats. Nothing like leaving your fanbase distressed so early in a season that was full of promise.“It's really just the timing on things,” Kobe Bryant said following the Lakers' 116-106 defeat in Portland, dropping them to 0-2 after a winless preseason. “Twenty five turnovers—and they weren't really bad turnovers—we just have to work on guys being in the right places and things like that.
