It's funny listening to some of these ESPN debates on the Lakers now and comparing them to the Celtics. A lot of the same things are being said.

Bad chemistry. Players not understanding roles. Questioning the head coach. Players disrupted by trade talks. Both by Anthony Davis trade talks. The young guys disconnected with the old guys. Sometimes it's the young guys not playing up to par. Sometimes it's the old guys. Guys worried about free agency next year and their next contract (especially vets on 1 year deals from last summer for LA). LeBron giving up on the young guys too early (wanting them traded for vets, calling them out).

The difference is, the Celtics are the 5th seed and the Lakers are missing the playoffs.

Celtics would be out of playoff in the west.

I think they're 10-13 against the West this season so, maybe you're right.

I doubt it would actually be that big of a swing, though, if they were actually out West. They'd probably still be the 6th seed or so.

Miss the playoffs and they may not even match the record of last year's team. Downright embarrassing

Not anymore. Even if LAC and SAS finish the year at a .500 clip (so 9-9), LAL would need to go 15-3 or even 16-2 the rest of the way to have a shot. It’s not happening.

They're playing Denver on Wednesday...so you can add another "L" to that column. They might have a shot against Boston though, given how much that team is going through right now  ;D

LBJ Exposed. Not good enough to lead his team to playoffs or even modest improvement.
Statuesque defense and no-one left for him to blame that hasn't already been blamed upon.
Old Kobe 2.0.
Like a TV series with an aged cast that became irrelevant.
Story fits.

This Saturday Night game will be more a "battle of extremely dysfunctional teams" instead of a "historic rivalry"  :P
