O'Neal: The Lakers are definitely going to make the playoffs, and playing at the Lakers is like that, and there's always somebody who puts extra pressure on you

The Los Angeles Lakers have suffered three straight losses, the home crisp defeat to the Bucks, the Lakers look powerless to fight back. The away game was not played, and the Lakers actually lost to the trail blazers who had broken the team. Today's away challenge to the second-place Warriors in the league, the Lakers played a wonderful second half, but still regrettably lost the game. They currently have 26 wins and 31 losses, placing them in ninth place in the West.

Former Lakers star and now NBA famous commentator "Big Shark" O'Neal, in an interview, talked about the expectations for the Lakers. O'Neal said the Lakers will definitely make the playoffs, but when playing with the Lakers, there is always a lot of pressure inside the organization.

"They're definitely going to be in the playoffs," O'Neal said, "but it's one of the toughest teams I've ever played for." I remember when I came here, Jerry West said, 'Look, I know you make movies, I know you make records,' but he showed me Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar and said, 'At the end of your career, you either become garbage or you become a legend.' So, playing at the Lakers, they're all about making you look like someone else can remember."

This may be the lakers' team culture as the first giant in the NBA. Inside out, the harshness of the Los Angeles media and the attention in the spotlight can have a huge impact on the mentality of the players. The Lakers desperately need a win now, and they have only one game left before the All-Star game, facing the Jazz at home on the 17th.
