Just when you thought the Los Angeles Lakers’ season couldn’t possibly get any worse after their 140-111 Sunday rout at the hands of the Phoenix Suns – it did get worse.
On Monday, the Purple and Gold gave up the first nine points of their contest against the Toronto Raptors. From there, it was complete garbage time, as Toronto led by 21 at the end of the first quarter.
Other than a brief, desperate run by L.A. late in the fourth quarter, this game was never the least bit competitive. Toronto seemed to be in God mode, while the Lakers seemed to be in “God, why is this happening” mode.
Almost nothing went right for them, and the 114-103 final score wasn’t indicative of how humiliating the game really was.
Across Twitter, the NBA community, including Lakers fans, showed plenty of disgust once again.
Just finished watching the @Lakers and it’s not a joke, they are bad.
Zero chemistry.

The @lakers are the worst basketball team in the NBA currently, not even close

It’s a routine
• Lakers on a losing streak
• Lakers win an unexpected game
• You gain hope
• You watch the next Laker game in hopes they win
• They lose in the worst way possible

Lakers miss more layups than a JV tm. Turn the🏀 over like one too.

Fakers were 3-25 in the 1st quarter, totaling a season-low 12 points. Really, Bron?

Have you seen the Lakers with Lebron? Straight trash! I thought he makes his teammates better.

The best part about being a fan of the 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers is that someday I will die and never have to think about them ever again

Just think you’re one of the Lakers that knows Lebron doesn’t run on defense and there he is yelling at the whole team because he’s awful as a center and doesn’t get the ball. They’re blaming Westbrook when they aren’t built to win.
