The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers are the 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers. We’ve known who they are as a team for a while now, with countless reminders being shown every game of how bad they really are.
There’s really no need to relitigate their most recent “worst loss of the season”, a 139-130 defeat in overtime to the Houston Rockets, who were 16-49 coming into the night. That sentence basically tells you everything you need to know about the feeling surrounding that game for the Lakers players, coaches, and fans.
And speaking of fans — with me being one of them — we deserve better.
