In the six games they have played since the NBA’s restart the Lakers have been one of the NBA’s worst teams. With a 2-4 record, only the Grizzlies, Kings, and Wizards have won fewer games. Though they boast the league’s 3rd best defensive rating during this stretch, they’re last offensively and their -7.1 net rating is 20th out of the 22 teams in the Orlando bubble.

Before the team’s most recent loss to the Pacers, I was asked if I was concerned about the Lakers and my reply was, basically, no:

In the big picture, even after losing to Indy and when taking into account the bad statistical profile they’re carrying since returning to action, my position is still pretty much the same.
