Though Lakers starters Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace all scored in double figures, the group remains winless. While Nash missed most of the early part of the season with a leg fracture and only recently returned, things have not looked much better for the team since his return. Certainly not Sunday night, when the Nuggets used a big third quarter to regain control. After Los Angeles outscored Denver 34-26 in the second quarter to tie the game at the half, 60-60, the Nuggets fell behind by four midway through the quarter.

Kobe Bryant and his teammates, the "old as ****" Lakers, looked old again last night against the Clippers. They lost 107-102 behind the 38 points of Kobe Bryant. Think it's about time for them to look for trade offers. Kobe was right, they clearly need to get younger and faster. There was one play last night where Kobe went back to the early 2000s though. ...

It could be a combination of all that.
Things will go from bad to worse if his shoulder injury is anything serious. Here is what Dwight had to say.

Local radio shows laughed at the Omer Asik signing, not knowing of his defensive dominance. Linsanity was to make money and be bad enough to get a top 3 draft pick in next year’s draft. Trading for James Harden gave people hope, but just enough to know...
