NBA: The Lakers are not out of a crisis and are already in another crisis

And theThe saying goes that everything can go wrong… woe. It seems to be more than just a sentence. It’s the way of life for the Los Angeles Lakers, who are far from taking advantage of those two victories that made them forget their start on the course, and go back to their old ways.. From the directionless team. A person between rumours, stars without cohesion and limited ideas on the opposing court is drowning in the NBA asking – and asking – something more to be truly competitive.

It is what is drawn from a new victory by “chloroform” 139-116 against jazz which is the opposite. They know their limits and take advantage of team resources. In the Lakers, even if LeBron James is missing, the opposite happens. S Russell Westbrook, who with 22 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, continues to contribute. But the rest…

It starts with LeBron himself, who is going through a “black” season in shooting. 21% of triples are symptoms of everything else, And the most unsuccessful “King” owes the team that needs it, as do other candidates who need this influence from their stars. Call yourself Giannis Antetokoumpo, Luka Doncic, Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry.

And it goes to the other visible head, Anthony Davis. It is not convenient and does not require much thought. In pre-season, Hamm gave him the key to the attack… he threw it “into the river”. The “5” can’t be harsh, and he points out that. “We’re miserable, honestly,” he said harshly. “When I played in ‘4’ I was able to protect everyone and be more influential. In pvot I can do that, of course, there is no excuse. But now I’m someone who’s focused on action, on mass and continuity, and I’m posting.” The result, at first glance. is softer and less impactful under the boards.

the changes?

For this reason, critical voices explode. They want change and they want it now. Touch the stars? It doesn’t seem unrealistic, because as noted by the prestigious founder of The Ringer Bill Simmons Even Davis can be traded. I know it’s a bargaining chip that unlocks everything elsealthough it will be necessary to find out which star can land the Lakers and assuming a type of game that the rest of the players won’t buy.

Because S.’s best moments come from defending and throwing while running to LeBron or Lonely Walker or Westbrook, but when they fail the defensive transition, they adapt in defense against the shot without fouls or defensive rebounds… It’s hard to build, Ham said in the press room. With 2-8, another crunch without the first ending.
