...I'm having a hard time mustering up sympathy when there are dramatic "low points" (aside from the death and McKinney getting hurt) because I know everything by and large works out for the Lakers. Because, you know, they're the Lakers, and they largely owned the 1980s.
Besides, I fucking hate the Lakers, so am I really good to feel for Mychael Thompson trying to find his place on the time? Or worry about Jerry Buss during all these early financial issues? Or feel bad in future seasons when they lose two finals in a row after winning the championship two out of three times?
The only thing about this season that isn't quite working is the stuff between Jerry and Jeanie Buss. Jeanie coming to terms with who her father really is doesn't hold my interest. I'd rather they do more with Gabby Hoffman's character.
