Beijing time on December 24, the NBA regular season continues, today the Lakers sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Spurs, since Anthony Davis was injured after the team suffered 3 consecutive defeats (plus injury to leave this game), although the team also has James and Westbrook two top stars, but now the Lakers look and who is very difficult to play, thought that today facing the Spurs, they can take down the decline, the result of the team is 110-138 to the opponent, suffered 4 consecutive losses.
In this game, James tried his best, he shot 15 of 26 in the whole game, 2 of 7 in three points, 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, Westbrook shot 12 of 20 shots, 1 of 2 of three points, and also efficiently scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but his teammates were too weak, in the game there was a feeling that James and Westbrook played opposite the whole team, this time the Spurs played 11 people, even Ubanks, who only played for 2 minutes, got 1 assist and 1 block. It seems that the positivity and role are better than the Lakers' group of role players.
In this battle, the Lakers on the side in addition to Zhan Huang and Wei Shao only Tucker scored double-doubles, but the play is not good, the whole game 13 shots to score 13 points, into the inside line was tragically blocked 4 times, at the beginning I did not understand why Tak did not stay Caruso, Tucker looks talented is good, but this guy ball dealer is too bad, if the Lakers are not to win the championship, but to cultivate young people, it is no problem to keep him, the key now the team's goal is to rush to the championship, but now I feel that the championship is gradually drifting away.
Thomas Jr., who played well in the first two games, is also not good today, 1 of 5 shots, 3 of 3 points, 0 of three points, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, the role of the defensive end is still very bad, it is estimated that after the end of this contract, the Lakers may not leave him, although there is an offense, but how many points he can score, basically the opponent can score more points against him. A lot of so-called "big names" were introduced in the offseason, but for now, Anthony, Howard, and Munch are OK, and the rest are too bad.
Rondo is really old, today 11 minutes to get 0 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, he is not wanting to give the team some more help, but there is no ability at all, Jordan Jr. played 6 minutes 3 of 2 to get 5 points and 4 rebounds, just look at the data is really good, but the plus-minus -4, he is still losing points, signed new signings Mason Jones, Jefferiff and Jemelio Jones three people a total of 7 2 points 4 points is not practical at all.
For Pelinka's ability to operate is really not flattering, I even think he is one of the worst general managers in the league, when he took the thick eyebrows to be honest, he had already paved the way for the Magicians, after winning the championship, he did not leave Danny Green for a small black, gave up Howard to sign a harrell with good offensive ability and poor defense, his operation was worse in this summer's offseason, it can be said that he forced the Lakers to this step step by step.
A few days ago, there was also media rumors that the Lakers intended to trade Wei Shao, to be honest, wei Shao played really well recently, the problem is not in him, when Ennis wanted to come to the Lakers, the result is that Pelinka is not, if there is his team's defense will be better than now. In the past 4 games, James has averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 56% from the field, a 36-year-old veteran, he really tried his best, but the team is gradually drifting away from the championship...
