After losing to the Hawks on the road, the Lakers suffered a three-game losing streak, which brought their record to 24-27, a win rate of more than 50%, and slipped to ninth in the West, currently one win behind the eighth-place Clippers.
For the Lakers, who aspire to a championship, such a record is obviously very bad, and with the current record ranking, they can't even make the playoffs, let alone compete for the championship.
The Lakers have assembled a very luxurious lineup this season, not only forming a big three combination, but also gathering several long-established superstars, and the luxury is not lost to the Nets. It is worth mentioning that in the 12-13 season, the Lakers also put together a very luxurious lineup, known as the F4 combination, which gathered Kobe, Howard, Nash and Gasol. However, the Lakers' performance this season has been very unsatisfactory.
In the 12-13 season, although the Lakers have a luxurious lineup, but the performance is very bad, the contradictions within the team are endless, coupled with the impact of injuries, the Lakers finally only entered the playoffs with the seventh place in the West, but due to The Kobe's season reimbursement, the Lakers were finally swept by the Spurs in the first round.
This season, the Lakers have also built a luxurious lineup, and the performance is as unsatisfactory as the 12-13 season. Interestingly, the Lakers achieved 24 wins and 27 losses in the first 51 games of the 12-13 season, and the Lakers also achieved a record of 24 wins and 27 losses in the first 51 games this season, and some fans lamented how similar the fate was.
Compared to the 12-13 season, the Lakers have actually performed worse this season because they are currently ranked ninth in the West and have problems making the playoffs. Moreover, the overall record of the Western Conference team this season is not good, several strong teams have been affected by injuries, and the record is very average, but the Lakers still miss the top eight in the West.
Of course, the Lakers have also been affected by injuries, James and Thick Brow have missed many games due to injuries, and other players have more or less suffered injuries, so the lineup has not been complete, plus Wei Shao has not been running well, so the Lakers' record is very difficult.
It's hard to say what the Lakers will eventually achieve this season, but it's not ideal at the moment, and it's likely to repeat the mistakes of the 12-13 season, and even if they can reach the playoffs, I'm afraid they won't go far.
