Magic Johnson not worried about Lakers, believing it’ll take two months to find stride
Winning that 18th championship will certainly be no easy task, as the Lakers found out when they were defeated by the defending champion Denver Nuggets on Opening Night.
Despite the loss, which was their sixth straight to Denver, Lakers legend Magic Johnson is not worried about the team as he believes it will take a couple of months to build continuity and find their stride.
The Lakers were able to bounce back and earn their first win of the season on Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns, although it wasn’t pretty so this team clearly still has some work to do.
