Byron Scott unlikely to be fired during season, according to report

As has been noted by nearly everyone to watch them play for even a second during the 2015-16 NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers are a bad basketball team. They rank next to last in both defensive efficiency (giving up 107.2 points per 100 possesions), offensive efficiency (scoring 96.5 points per 100 possessions) and net rating (teams outscore them by an average of 10.7 points per 100 possessions). The franchise with the second most NBA titles sits with a record of 3-19, their worst start in franchise history and well on pace to finish with their worst ever record for the third consecutive year.
