After the Lakers net loss to the Nuggets by 37 points, they suffered three consecutive losses, and the record came to 21 wins and 22 losses, with a winning percentage of less than 50%. After the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors today and rose to seventh in the West, the Lakers also dropped to eighth in the West, and if there were no Clippers behind, the Lakers would have fallen out of the top eight in the West.
In the 13 games that Thick Brow missed, the Lakers' record was not ideal, only 5 wins and 8 losses. Thick eyebrows are not there, the Lakers' poor record is still understandable, but in the past 13 games, James has cut 30+ 11 times, and the record is still so bad, which is a bit unspeakable.
The Lakers have had a bad record in recent times, and the warriors and nets, the two championship teams, are not much better. Since entering 2022, the warriors and nets have not had a good record. The Warriors have only lost 4-5 in their last 9 games, and the Nets have only 4-6 in their last 10 games, and neither win rate has reached 50%.
Fortunately, the Warriors and nets have good records in the early stages, so the overall record is still passable, and they are also ranked second in the East and West. However, the advantages of the Warriors and nets over other teams have all but disappeared, and if the downturn continues, they may fall to fourth, and the Nets may even fall to sixth in the East.
It is worth mentioning that in the past period of time, the Warriors and the Nets have ushered in the comeback of an important player, the Warriors have welcomed Thompson, and the Nets have ushered in Irving. Of course, the Decline in the Warriors and Nets still has little to do with Thompson and Irving.
The Warriors and nets have had a bad record in the past period of time, mainly affected by injuries, due to injuries caused by the team's lineup is not aligned, the natural strength has been affected, it is not easy to win. Not only that, Curry and Durant have also suffered injuries one after another, and will be absent for a period of time in the future, so next, the warriors and nets' records may not be much better, and the ranking may continue to decline.
Of course, no matter how the Warriors and Nets' records decline, they are still much better than the Lakers. The Warriors and Nets continue to decline, and they will not miss the playoffs, and if the Lakers continue to decline, there is a real possibility that they will not miss the playoffs.
