Our beloved Los Angeles Lakers are in the Pacific Northwest tonight, preparing for yet another round against the Trail Blazers, who have managed to (exaggerated eye-roll) beat LA at least 3,000 consecutive times. To make matters even better, we have the Lakers sitting at 16-32, tied for last in the Western Conference in winning percentage.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!
It’s become tiring trying to preach patience and rationality in the midst of what seems to be yet another lottery-bound season, and after holding the prestigious position of Lakers Tank Commander for the past three years, I can certainly see the merit in falling back into that habit.
