The Lakers' record this season is not very good, with the current team situation, it is difficult to enter the top six in the West, because now Davis is injured again, according to the lakers' official news, Davis will be reviewed after four weeks, that is to say, Davis will be absent for at least four weeks, the current regular season is not very much left, Davis's injury, let the Lakers worse. Then next is James and Westbrook to lead the team, how the Lakers deal with Davis' absence, which is also a problem.
Recently, former NBA commentator Perkins also talked about this topic in a show, Perkins said: "Wei Shao must come forward, now is his opportunity to make the sunspots shut up." "Westbrook's overall performance this season is not very good, but in recent games, Westbrook's state is very good, the Lakers' victory over the Jazz in that game, Westbrook's play is very critical, and then during Davis' absence, if Westbrook can continue to maintain his form, then the Lakers' record may be better."
James's state is very good, this season's James on the court even better than last season, which is why the Lakers are still likely to compete for the championship, of course, from the current Lakers' record, it is difficult to compete for the championship. Before the trade deadline, although the Lakers had a lot of trading rumors, but in the end the Lakers still did not trade, the lineup still maintained the original state, then the buyout market is the focus of the Lakers' attention.
The Lakers can now score a lot of players, role players such as Munch, Anthony, Reeves and so on, but the Lakers' defensive efficiency this season is very bad, if a team is not good defensively, it is difficult to get better results, because the strong teams in the league, whether offensive or defensive, are excellent, so in the buyout market, the Lakers need to pay special attention to the front players, from the Lakers' lineup, the front players are indeed not many.
In terms of the interior, after Davis was injured, James may have to play the fifth position again, in fact, from the perspective of the previous game, although James played the fifth position well, but also consider his age and body, let Howard play more time is a more rational choice, of course, it depends on how Vogel chooses. I hope that Davis can recover as soon as possible, and I also hope that Westbrook can prove his strength after the All-Star.
