Daily Discussion: Should the Lakers Start to Panic?

The Lakers fell to 9-11 with their loss to the Thunder last night. While 9-11 isn’t horrible, this is a Lakers team that lost just 25 games each of the last two years (remember 2011-2012 was shortened). Also troubling is the fact that the Lakers have had a fairly easy schedule so far, but one that toughens up considerably over the next 2 months. The Lakers are just 2-6 on the road this season and face road contests in 6 of their final 10 games in December. They have already fired one coach, so what can they do to get back into the top of the Western Standings?
