The Lakers are one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, and despite all odds, they can’t even get the simple stuff right.
Although the team was starting to play a bit better behind stellar efforts from Anthony Davis lately, Los Angeles blew a 17-point lead against the Pacers on Monday. But the embarrassment started long before Indiana rookie Andrew Nembhard hit a game-winning 3-pointer to crush the dreams of a three-game winning streak.
Before the match even began, the team was clouded by cursed energy. Unfortunately, someone in their game operations department accidentally pressed play on an old pregame hype video.
The Lakers just accidentally used their old pregame hype video featuring Malik Monk and Kent Bazemore lmaoooo

Fans were easily able to tell that something wasn’t right considering Malik Monk and Kent Bazemore were both featured in the video.
The Lakers did not re-sign Monk this past offseason, and he now plays for the Kings. Bazemore also signed a contract with the Kings but was waived on Oct. 15 before ever playing a game for the franchise this season.

Bazemore last played for the Lakers on April 7 and had not appeared in the starting lineup for Los Angeles since Dec. 17, 2021.
Unfortunately, given everything else that has happened with the Lakers so far this season, such a blunder is hardly even surprising.
