The media might love it, and the casual fans who love the TV shows, but who cares about the Lakers right now? Are you tuning in at the start of the game and watching the whole thing? At this point, you want to root for them to lose as much as possible so they could get a decent pick in the draft.

We're only 3 games back from having a 37% chance at a top 3 pick and a 9% chance at the #1.
