Mike Brown optimistic despite start

"We're still feeling our way," Brown said following the team's shootaround Tuesday afternoon. "It's tough to swallow, but we'll be fine."

After the Jazz leave town, the Lakers will play six opponents widely expected to challenge for playoff spots over the next seven games. Brown acknowledged the risk of starting slowly in this year's compressed 66-game NBA season but isn't concerned about the team's long-term prospects.

"Obviously you don't want to put yourself in a hole, but we're going to be in the playoffs," he said. "Where we're going to sit, I don't know. Hopefully we don't bury ourselves too deep at the beginning of the year, but when we get clicking ... we're going to be really good, and once we get to the playoffs this is an experienced, veteran team."

"We want the No. 1 seed overall, but with this group right here, I'm not afraid to play in anybody's gym."
