The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on their southern California rivals, the Clippers, on Wednesday night.
Usually, this would be cause for excitement and celebration for Lakers fans, as followers of the team always like to see the Lakers take down the Clippers.
However, that isn’t the case this year.
Instead, Lakers fans feel beat up, exhausted, and not ready for another defeat.

One NBA meme summed it up so well, showing the true fatigue that Lakers faithful are feeling today – and every day so far this season.
There were plenty of devoted Lakers fans who didn’t expect a great season this year but the team has found a way to surprise with just how bad it’s been so far.
There have only been 10 games but some fans of Los Angeles are ready to throw in the towel already.
Languishing Lakers Fans
The biggest problem with the Lakers right now is that everything is a problem.
Russell Westbrook is playing much better but the team is still hurting.
Anthony Davis has stayed mostly healthy but the team is still losing.
LeBron James has been on the court but the team is still toward the bottom of the Western Conference.
Each of these guys is still having problems.
They don’t look terrible but they also don’t look great either and that is causing the Lakers to limp.
It is true that the Lakers had one of the toughest opening schedules in the league so they might be able to pull off some much-needed wins in the next few weeks.
That’s very likely.
At the same time, fans are ready for them to lose even against the worst teams in the NBA.
Fans are becoming used to their team suffering.
