"Welcome to Slowtime.

These are strange days for a franchise that loves to score points, be it Elgin Baylor, Magic Johnson or Kobe Bryant over the years.

The only Showtime the Lakers unveiled the last couple of days was cheered by opposing fans. They fell again Friday, this time to Orlando, 92-80, at Amway Arena.

They haven't scored 100 points in nine consecutive games, the third-longest streak in franchise history since the shot-clock era began in 1954.

They had another pathetic quarter, scoring 10 points in the first against Orlando, barely squeaking past the seven they had against Dallas in the third quarter Monday.

Twenty-four hours after a shaky effort against Miami, the Lakers shot 38.2% against Orlando.

Oh, and they're now 1-6 on the road.

"Yeah, terrible," Andrew Bynum said.

Is there a way to bring the lockout back?

Bryant was charged up for this one, giving a rah-rah speech in the locker room before the game, a rare occurrence for a player usually ensconced in his own thoughts before heading out to the court.

He had 30 points on 11-for-22 shooting and also eight assists, but things fell off sharply from there for the Lakers. Bynum had 10 points, 12 rebounds, was in continual foul trouble and got thumped by Orlando center Dwight Howard (21 points, 23 rebounds).

Pau Gasol had 13 points on four-for-12 shooting. Metta World Peace continued his confoundingly poor play, going scoreless for the third time this season."
