Tonight?

OKC meltdown?

OKC meltdown part 2?

Opening Night choke?

Other?

Easily tonight. You can chalk up one loss and move on but even with the day off we had old men playing 50 minutes. This one took a lot out of them in many ways. Saying you need urgency doesn't do anything if you don't play that way.

I wish this one means we hit the rock bottom and start to bounce back, so can the worst also be the best?

Wishful thinking, but I'd rather see the glass half-full

Too many to count this season. And we are only 20 games in!

Wouldn’t it be funny if the worse loss ends up being the one to get into the playoffs

This. And nothing is really being fixed either from what I can see...at least not beyond a game or two.

Teams are not afraid of the Lakers or their Big Three. Opponents know the Lakers are vulnerable and come into the game knowing they have a shot to out work and outplay them. Because they can.

No intimidation means a dogfight each and every night. It is up to the Laker players to change this. I am not sure they can. This might just be who and what they are.

Only one ball to go around. In an era that heavily favors 3pt shooting, this equalizes the game for undermatched opponents like the Kings.

When these Lakes can't beat or have trouble beating bad teams; what
does that say about them?

I think the message is clear. Lots of people here and elsewhere had
called it with the off season moves or lack of.

Anytime Boston blows you out, its the worst loss of the season.

I feel like there have been a handful of these which is usually an indication of a bad team…

We're not a good team. This question will be impossible to answer by the time the season is over.

This team just lacks joy and passion. Seems like playing games is almost an annoyance to them.

I thought last year's team lacked that chemistry and joy but man, this year's team is worse.

Tonight was a comedy of errors. Typically you can just wash a game like this out with a win, but given the errors flowed from fundamental/endemic problems, I just don't see this getting much better.

Its not a coincidence that the Lakers have lost against the 1 and 2 youngest teams in the league.

Nope, and that was what last night’s game was, a young team running over an old team.

The only competent games they have played to date was the Celtics game, 2nd half @ Sacramento…and maybe honorable mention to beating the Grizzlies at home.

Too many bad performances to find “worst loss of season.”
