Heading into their Thursday night tilt with the Chicago Bulls, the LA Lakers (9-38) have lost 7 straight games, and showing no sign of being able to pull out of that slump. This looks like a team that is waiting for the season to end, but it’s funny how a rivalry game can light a fire under a team that looks otherwise lackluster. These two teams share the same court, so it’s not as if the Lakers have to go on the road in order to get a win. In fairness, though, it hasn’t really mattered where the Lakers have played this season, as the result has pretty much been the same every time. Their only hope here is if they can take advantage of a Clippers team mired in turmoil right now. The Lakers are averaging 96.3 PPG, and are giving up 106.2 PPG.
