With only 17 games left in what has been one of the most disappointing and joyless Lakers seasons in recent memory, fans of the team have suddenly been presented with a dilemma of a question — what is there left to watch for?
Yes, there technically still is a chance of a postseason berth that could lure potential viewing interest. But, when realistically considering the amount of ground the team must make up (not to mention the Lakers’ growing list of injuries) combined with the remaining strength of schedules among budding bubble teams, it is no shock the Lakers have only a less than a one percent chance to make the playoffs, according to five-thirty-eight’s latest projection.
