If the latest Jeremy Lin news is to be based, then the Los Angeles Lakers is really in a sorry, sorry state. It seems "Linsanity" is finally grounded as the 6-3 point guard could not even find the words to explain the team's struggles.

According to the Jeremy Lin news from SB Nation, "Linsanity's" Harvard education didn't help him muster up an explanation to the Los Angeles Lakers' 1-9 start.

When interviewed by reporters after Sunday's loss to the Warriors, Lin said: "I don't...it's...you know. Uh...I don't know, man."

"The Lakers aren't just a bad basketball team, they're a life-altering force that saps the will from its players. At this rate Jeremy Lin will be a quivering mess by the end of the season," the site said.

A GIF of the Linsanity interview posted by Shahan Ahmed on Vine was even trending on social media. The GIF was captioned: "Jeremy Lin's Harvard education can't put this into words #lakers #warriors."

In other Jeremy Lin news from Bleacher Report, it said that the heady point guard was "double-clutching pronouns in an empty locker room."

"He can't say, 'We're terrible at defense, Kobe doesn't trust us, and our offensive strategy is inefficiency personified.' Lin can't say that. It's not in him," it said.

Kobe Bryant, however, has no such problems as he had plenty of words after the game.

"They came out and knocked down shots and put us in a hole pretty quick. We're not getting back in transition and giving up a lot of points. We've got to give ourselves an opportunity to play half-court defense. ... They're running the ball and shooting in transition in five seconds before you really get an opportunity," he said, per ESPN.

"I'd rather get guys involved early. That's always the intent. But when you go down 10-12 points in the hole, man, I've got to try to keep us in the ballgame at some point. The responsibility is on me. I mean, when things go good, it's us. When things go bad, it's me," Kobe Bryant added.
