Are You Still Watching?

I've always been a pretty die-hard Lakers fan. Between 1992 and 2015, I probably saw or listened to almost every game. Since 2015, I've still watched a good 75% of games and for the ones I miss, at least watch a 10 min game recap, but since they pulled BI out and Zo was declared out for the year, I've barely watched at all (and it's only got worse with LBJ, Hart also out) and I'm not even checking out the recaps.

This is easily the most disinterested I've been in a Lakers team ever. If we're lottery bound, that's one thing, but there's not even a single guy I'm interested in to see if they can develop their game. No superstar, no potential star (d'lo, BI, Zo, Julius), no young guy with potential I like (Zu, Hart), nothing. I like when Mo comes in, and still think Kuz can be part of a championship core, but they're not enough to get me to watch a game. Maybe I'm not a true fan, but I've never watched less Laker basketball in my life, by far.

This true for anyone else? I can't wait for game 1 of next season to start...

I'm right there with ya...

edit: For me it has a lot to do with my lack of faith in the front office which makes it depressing at the moment, hoping for a brighter future next season.

Fandom's personal. Do what's healthy for you. But I miss watching Zo and BI.

I'd still watch if Zo or Ingram were playing.

Caruso said, “Are you not entertained?”

Still watching more than half the games, not foregoing family activities or laggy feeds as much.

Caruso is giving me ample reason to set time and other activities aside again.

Im so glad I caught last night's game cause of Caruso.

No, I would rather focus on my youtube channel, and the mountain of assignments I have. They are putting an unwatchable product on the floor.

Nope.

Check scores, maybe watch highlights if they win on youtube.

No reason to stay up til 1am to watch this trash

man...this is an awful thing to say (what a surprise, right?)

but I actually think if we the fans literally boycotted the games (no watching, no going to games) in a significant enough way, i think that would create a "force" that would increase our odds of off-season success. but you have to not watch the live games.

As much as I talk (bleep) about the current state of the Lakers, I'll still tune in and depending on how the first quarter goes determines whether or not I finish the game lol.

fans calling Caruso,JWill or any Laker trash or whatever doesn't sit well with me...can't complain about Luke without watching the games either imo
