NBA: Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics

Los Angeles Lakers

Record: 9-35

Let’s be real, we can’t really take the Lakers seriously this season so I’ll give them a passing grade. However, that’s only because their rookies have had promising moments and because they’re still projected to keep their pick this season (only if it’s in the top 3).

If the Lakers lose that pick, they fail.

But this season has been about Kobe Bryant and sending him off the right way. So far, the Lakers have done that, apparently.

Grade: C+

Next: Memphis Grizzlies
