Los Angeles Lakers, Almost the Worst Team in the NBA
When the Los Angeles Lakers were doing something that remotely looked like building a team to this season, one question kept popping in everyone’s mind: Who is going to play defense for them?

Lakers vs Heat – It Was Easier Than the Scoreboard Says

Missing the first 40 games of the season isn’t the only reason the Boston Celtics are terrible, but Rajon Rondo coming back didn’t really change much, as he wasn’t enough in the 107-104 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, finally finding a team that defends more poorly than they do under the basket.

One of the only bright spots in this awful season for the Los Angeles Lakers has been the constant fast-paced offense this team is trying to run, and watching Nick Young do his thing, which doesn’t always work, but is always entertaining to watch. As they lost their sixth in a row (and 12th in 13), Swaggy P being ejected was a big part of another step backwards for the team and franchise, who are going through a stretch no one in Tinseltown even remembers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t want to win in the future, like most of the NBA – they want their wins to come now, and hopefully getting them to the playoffs. Adding Luol Deng to the struggling squad was a good start, and playing a weak team like the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t hurt as well.
