La-La Lake-Dry

 

Lakers’ slump continues with frustrating

home loss to Heat

Losing to the Y lakeside, well that'll make ya sore.

The Lakies turned the rock over 22 times last night agin' MIA when Jimmy was m.i.a. They became the first team this season, not even the Zollner Pistons could match this, to record 20+ t.o.s and shoot <15% from deep. 

Throughout the game, the Lakers’ body language reflected a team in the middle of a horrible slump.

Afterwards there was a players-only meeting, after which one Lakie described the locker room mood as "shitty"; LBJ left without speaking to the media; there's a "disconnect", according to six sources to The Athletic, in said room between the players who change there and Darvin Ham, the head man.

Mucho of the shitty 'tude has to do with Ham's ham-handed lineup decisions. You're in, you're out, you get carbuncles on your ass and then you're in and blow a hammie.

They're home, the Lakies are, for most of January, which started last night with an L. Ten of fifteen games (one against La-La Beard-Beard in the same gym), which started last night with an L against MIA with Jimmy m.i.a. The lake bed is exposed and dry. Rain expected in SoCal?
