This Is Maybe The Most Depressing Play Of LeBron's Entire Career
The Lakers lost again Wednesday night, their fourth loss in a row, and eighth in ten games. Since January 1 they’re a crummy 9–19, and they’re now five games under .500 with 17 left to play, and 6.5 back of the Western Conference eighth seed. They’re dead....

Patrick Beverley Buried The Lakers On The Court Then Spit On Their Grave<em></em>
After last night’s loss to their co-tenant Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers are 2-5 since LeBron James activated his “playoff intensity level,” a spell that means they’re probably super dead.

The Lakers Are Exhausted And Depleted And Probably Dead
It can seem a little cheesy and cherry-picked to focus much criticism on LeBron’s play-to-play effort for these fading Lakers. For one thing, this roster is a complete mess, and the team’s on-court chemistry is currently in the toilet, and everyone is screwing up all the time. For another, LeBron is...

The Lakers Are So Toxic Right Now That Carmelo Anthony Would Rather Stay Home
In January, after the Rockets finally accepted that they couldn’t get any money for Carmelo Anthony at the consignment store and just left him on the curb instead, it seemed likely that he’d head to Los Angeles to link up with his chum LeBron James.

Anthony Davis Tried Hard Not To Smile At LeBron James's Dagger
On Wednesday night, Anthony Davis showed the Lakers what they missed out on by, uh, offering their entire team to a chaotic New Orleans front office that had no desire to let its superstar move to California: in just 21 minutes of *cough* injury-mandated *cough* court time, Davis went 10-for-14 from...
