Serious question.

At this point, they have zero chance of getting past the first round of the playoffs. They're on a 4-game slide, below .500, with two of those four losses being to the Wolves and Spurs. The Spurs beat the by 28. The game wasn't even competitive.

Have they decided to write off the season already and tank? Because on paper, they still look like they have a solid team. How do you explain the abysmal performance?

How were they good on paper last night when the only players worth a damn are Bron and Westbrook?

Everyone else was literally old, completely washed players or G-leaguers.

Any time now Lebron gets injured to create his excuse for the Lakers being this miserable.

The Lakers were still solid betting favorites last night. And you can't deny that Ellington is a good three point shooter. The dude went 1-7 from behind the line. I don't see how you can not think they were more terrible than they should have been.
