James' cooperation with Westbrook is not a failure! In the first year with him and Irving, the winning percentage was similar!

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On January 9, The American media OutletPoints posted on social media that James compared the first 40 games of the first season with Irving and Westbrook. James and Irving's first season together was 2015, with a record of 20 wins and 20 losses in the first 40 games, while James's first 40 games with Westbrook had a record of 21 wins and 19 losses, almost, even slightly ahead. When James and Irving were teammates, there was love. And when James and Westbrook were teammates, there was Davis.

The Lakers' roster is better than that of the Cavaliers, but that Cavaliers reached the Finals in reality, and ruled the East with Lefour injured, and Irving was injured in the last moments of the first game of the Finals, relying on James to take a few role players to fight the Warriors who were about to reach the peak of the warriors for six games, and finally was defeated by death five. James' stats in the Finals were: 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists. Almost got FMVP.

The Cavaliers' final record for the 2015 season was 53-29, which means that their record in the next 42 games is 33-9. If the Lakers want to be as fierce as the Cavaliers, it is a huge challenge, because the Lakers' next schedule is in the top three of the league. But the good news is that James has played the scoring champion, Game I, MVP and league first man, Davis will return at the end of the month, Westbrook is becoming more and more integrated into the Lakers system, and the other players remain in form: Anthony, Munch and Bradley are very good. Since they are winning, the cooperation between James and Westbrook is not a failure.

In the case of James and Westbrook's increasingly tacit understanding, as long as Davis returns, the Lakers can impact the championship! Although James is 37 years old, he has averaged more than 30 points per game as a center, and the sum of blocks and steals has reached a career high. James didn't have as many crotch-pulling games as Curry and Harden, and even if he hit the iron like crazy in the first three quarters, he would score more than 30 points in the fourth quarter without letting go of the slap.

Of course, the Lakers are still very challenging, and they have not won much against the top four in the East and West this season. The top four in the West are: Suns, Warriors, Jazz and Grizzlies. The top four in the East are: Bulls, Nets, Heat and Bucks. On January 10, the Lakers are about to welcome the Grizzlies. The Lakers' last game with the Grizzlies almost won, once a big score ahead of the opponent, lost after James rested, Westbrook will not lead the team.

James is not afraid to play the Grizzlies, and the Challenge of the Lakers is at the stage of James' rest. James said after the game to win the Eagles that the Grizzlies are very good, ranking higher than the Lakers, and the last time they played with them, the Lakers could have won, hoping to seize the opportunity this time. The good news for the Lakers and James is that Westbrook seems to know how to reduce turnovers, and Munch and Anthony can score at James' break. However, the Grizzlies' defense has surpassed many opponents the Lakers have won recently, depending on whether the role players can still score three points.
