After practice Saturday, a practice in which the Lakers watched film of their horrible performance Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks at Staples Center, they reminded all that the season is long and they have played only two games.

It was a game in which the Lakers were terrible on defense -- the Mavericks got way too many layups -- and out of whack on offense.

‘It’s actually Game 2,’ Lamar Odom said. ‘We’ve got 80 games left.’

The Lakers know other teams will give them their best shot. That means the Lakers have to match the energy of their opponents.

‘The games don’t get no easier,’ Odom said.
