The Lakers: Actually Fun Next Year?

[PhoSita]

I think the current losing Lakers are VERY fun to watch.

Really?  Have you actually watched them this year?  The Kobe Retirement Tour has been pretty awful.  After you watch a couple of highlight reels of Kobe bricking it up, it's not even funny anymore, just sad.

pho, you missed the point on that post i think. the poster did not mean "lakers" are fun to watch. the poster meant "losing lakers" are fun to watch.

i can relate to this sentiment.

Oh, I understood the sentiment.

But after a while, the whole "watching a team you hate lose" stops being fun and just turns into a misanthropic exercise, especially since the Lakers, like the Nets for much of this year, have been a brutal team to watch from a pure basketball standpoint.

If you're looking for a secondary, tertiary, etc. team to root for after the Celtics, I can think of twenty-eight better choices.

I only really root for one team.  But there's a whole league of teams to watch when there isn't a Celts game to watch.
