Newly formed superteam Lakers lost their 5th pre-season game and now are 0-5 in the NBA pre-season, the addition of Russel Westbrook doesn’t seem to be a good fit basketball-wise as his lack of shooting ability clogs up the lane for both AD and LeBron. GSW without Curry who dropped 30 points in the last game against LA still managed to win by 111-99, Anthony Davis led the game by scoring 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting, James with another poor game scoring 17 points and 4 assists on just 7 of 16 shooting and 6 turnovers, eve Westbrook hasn’t found his rhythm yet with just 10 points and 10 rebounds and another high turnover game with 5 turnovers. As for the Golden State Warriors, their young talent seems to improve as they go, Jordan Poole and Damion Lee’s sharpshooting ability allowed them to score 18 points and 16 points respectively.

Lakers disappointing start in the pre-season has been no worries for their superstars, they are trying to get their groove back and even though the fit of LeBron, AD, and Westbrook is not natural and will take a lot of time to get to that championship level but one thing LeBron does best in the league is he figures out, his basketball IQ is so off the charts that he can figure out everything and anything with his teammates who are not even natural fits.
As the Lakers lose again obviously the biggest hater of Lebron tweets every turnover he made with their timing.
LeBron, Turnover No. 6 with 8:30 left in the 2nd quarter.

LeBron went 4-4 in the first quarter – even finally made a three – but he also had FOUR TURNOVERS. Westbrook had "only" two, giving him 17 in the last 2 1/4 games. This team would be better with Rondo in place of Westbrook.
