It’s finally Christmas and the Lakers have already exceeded expectations set for them prior to the season. They’ve slowed down since their initial fast start leaving plenty for fans to wish for.

The Purple and Gold are now 11-20 despite getting off to a very successful start. There have been flashes from the Baby Lakers but they are yet to put it all together on a consistent basis.
