The tank is alive and well in Los Angeles with the 20-47 Los Angeles Lakers. The fans wanted it, now they have to deal with it.
Magic can’t say it, Luke Walton can’t say it, Jeanie certainly can’t say it, and the players have to dance around it, so we will say it. The last place Lakers are in full tank mode, folks!
The Los Angeles Lakers Lakers are in last place the west, two games behind the Phoenix Suns. They are not trying to win, they are trying to get better and learn lessons for next season. You know it, we know it, so it is time to embrace it.
You cannot ask the Lakers to win, then turn around and tell them to tank. Pick a side! Either you want them to tank for a high draft pick or you want them to try to win every game.
So if you are on #TeamTank, then the next time you want to Tweet about why Coach Luke Walton sits D’Angelo Russell, or benches Brandon Ingram in the fourth quarter for longer than you would desire, think twice, you are also asking him to not win the game. You try it!

In contrast, if you truly want the Lakers to win, or you think the Lakers are playing to win, then turn off the television, change the radio station, and don’t go to your apps for the score. Just wait for the NBA Draft and focus on that subject. The Lake Show Life has plenty of draft analysis for your reading pleasure and education.
Lastly, if you are a realist, and you really want the Lakers to win and you have to go or watch the games, help the rest of us, just focus on any great play or any period of time that the team performs the way they need to for next season.
Then sit back and relish each little moment for a bit. Visualize what the future will bring and how you will one day once again feel like that for an entire game at some point in the next couple of years.
If we are all visualizing and sending our good mojo to the front office and to the coaches to do the right things, all of our visions have a better chance of coming true. It works, believe us, if it didn’t none of us would be contributing to the Lake Show Life writing about our favorite NBA team.
