A mere 24 hours—an one spectacular upset of the crosstown Clippers—later, it would appear that Magic has plopped himself firmly on the Lakers' bandwagon.
Laker Nation: I'm very happy, the @Lakers played exceptionally well against the crosstown rival Clippers!

Laker Nation: This @Lakers team is better suited for Coach D'Antoni's offensive system.

Laker Nation: This @Lakers team with @kobebryant could have a good season!

Johnson voiced his opinion on ESPN 710 radio station in Los Angeles on Tuesday, as recounted by Ramona Shelburne, and he is not exactly feeling bullish on the Lakers' chances this season.
Magic on @ESPNLA710 "This is going to be one of the roughest seasons that the Lakers have ever faced."
