[Bad Takes]

Are Lakers the worst team in the NBA?

[D-Wade]

Even scrub Warrior players getting gifted calls now too. What a horse call against Tobias Harris.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Mavericks losing by 29 at home to the Grizzlies' scrubs. Embarrassing.

[MultiTroll]

ABC suck ups glorifying Donkey for his over the back rebound.

[MultiTroll]

JD Red s defense.
Game.

[D-Wade]

Braindead Mike Scott... also Steph traveled

[MultiTroll]

obvious travelling on Curry.

Van Gundy with the blow job. STFU!

[Mr. Body]

Lakers might be playing their way out of the postseason.

[D-Wade]

Simmons now being braindead ... why the do you do that lol

[MultiTroll]

zero BBIQ Simmons fails to get a shot attempt off so only 2 fts.

[Mr. Body]

Simmons now being braindead ... why the do you do that lol

He has a lot to learn about basketball but is too arrogant to learn it.

[baseline bum]

Why does Davis want to join this garbage Lakers team? Is he also entering the retirement phase of his career like LeBron?

[Mr. Body]

Looks like PHX may cough this up, which would be a major boost to LAL.

Probably, but Lakers being down 5 with 1:19 left of a must win to the worst team in the conference says horrible things about them.

We lost to the Suns, too, haven't we?

[skin27]

Bucks losing to the jazz won’t help us..smh

[D-Wade]

Bron just can't hit FTs reliably.

[Mr. Body]

Bucks losing to the jazz won’t help us..smh

We lost any chance of moving above 7th after coughing up horrible losses to the Knicks and Nets.

[skin27]

Sure..but we still have a chance if we win some games and jazz lose some especially against a good team like the bucks..

[baseline bum]

Losing a must win game to Phoenix

[baseline bum]

So the Lakers will have to go 15-4 to end the season to get to 45 wins, which is about what they'll probably need to make the postseason. Absolute best case the Clippers or Spurs just fall apart and the Lakers squeak in with 43 wins, which would require them to go 13-6 to end the season. Basically to become as good as the Nuggets.

[Mr. Body]

I keep expecting the Clips to take the dive, but they haven't. First in is Sacto, not LAL, if anyone falters.

[Mr. Body]

Ingram is sort of turning the corner but still doesn't do much for them to win. The whole roster is pretty much trash.

Yeah, but LeBron is ACTIVATED.
