The Los Angeles Lakers have not had the kind of season that the team was hoping for as the Lakers have hovered around .500 basketball and have failed to put any sort of momentum together. This is a team that was the bonafide favorite in the Western Conference and now there are at least five teams that seem to have a better chance than the Lakers.
