Stu Lantz, the long-time Lakers commentator who has watched the team every night for the last 34 years, can barely disguise the frustration in his voice. In fact, maybe he’s not even trying to anymore.
The Lakers have the ball, and they’re once again dribbling the air out of it. Or swinging it around the court to another Lakers player who has no advantage. Or looking to make a post entry to a tightly defended Anthony Davis as precious seconds tick away on the shot clock. The specifics of this play matter, but they really don’t.
