The Los Angeles Lakers' performance this year has been very volatile. Although their lineup is more luxurious, in many games they have performed poorly offensively and defensively mediocre. As a result, they are currently only 9th in the West and are still working for a playoff spot.
Just today, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 102-105, suffering three kills in a single season. There is no doubt that this is a hard pill for the team to swallow, because they have had the opportunity to win the game.
For the team's sluggish performance, Lakers fans are very angry. Some fans in the commentary chose to blame coach Frank Vogel for the loss. Many people think that there is a big problem in Vogel's employment, and the key moment snow hides Howard, causing the Lakers to lose the game.
Nowadays, there is not much time left for the Los Angeles Lakers. Many analysts are not optimistic about their prospects, Stephen M. A. Smith recently said that the Lakers will travel at most in the playoffs. With the way they play now, they may not even make it to the playoffs.
Traditionally, people won't be disappointed with the team James leads. Because he has proven he can lead a team alone at his peak. But in the current Lakers team, James can not lead the team to victory.
Maybe the Los Angeles Lakers will find a way to improve. They're missing Anthony Davis, but the current loss to a Clippers without All-Star players is definitely not good news. They kept the roster unchanged until the trade deadline, and it's hard for the lineup to make it to the playoffs now. Next season, the Lakers must tear down and rebuild, and the Big Three must have someone to leave!
