The Los Angeles Lakers are far from what anyone would ever call a good NBA team. Unfortunately for them, they’ll be on the road on Saturday afternoon for a matchup with one of the league’s best teams in the Oklahoma City Thunder.
OKC’s superstar duo of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant presents a more than formidable challenge for the loss-happy Lakers. The Thunder have a sizable advantage in top-end talent, in depth, and in not-having-Byron-Scott-running-things-from-the-sideline-ness.
The Lakers are almost surely going to lose on Saturday. It’s better to just go ahead and accept that fact and then move on.
