Preseason: Lakers vs. Nuggets (10/6/13)

In contrast to yesterday's game, today's game was sloppy. The Lakers lost 88-97. Since it's preseason, the loss is not as important as the way the team plays. There were some good things shown this game, but overall it was ugly. There too many offensive fouls and missed shots.

Nightly Notables:

The Good:

-Nash and Pau looked healthy. They did have a little rust, as expected, but they moved well 

-Xavier Henry and Nick YounYoung picked up where they left off last night

-Chemistry appears to be developing on the bench which should carry over onto the court. The one thing's lots of guys have in common is that they have a lot to prove

The Bad:

-Tons if misses in makeable shots

-Lots of turnovers due to illegal screens

-Injuries (minor) to Wesley Johnson and Xavier Henry

Of the players fighting for a roster spot, Henry, Williams, and Johnson-Odom impressed the most tonight. Landry missed his first 6 threes (3 of them airballs), but then made his final 3 in a row. Strange night for him.

The Lakers will play again Tuesday night against Denver again. It'll be fun to see who else stands out and if the team can get into a rythym offensively.
