The Lakers' performance this season can be described as very bad, although in the last game, they successfully beat the Warriors at home, ending their losing streak. However, from the current team ranking, they are still not ideal, and at this stage, the Lakers have only achieved a record of 28 wins and 35 losses, ranking 9th in the West. They are 9.5 wins behind the Nuggets, who are no.6 in the West, and the Lakers have only 19 games left this season, and they still need to face teams such as the Suns, Raptors, Timberwolves, 76ers and Warriors, and the schedule is more difficult. It can be said that in the case of running out of regular season games, the Lakers want to enter the top 6 in the West, which is not too realistic, and the Lakers this season are likely to need to participate in the playoffs to have a chance to get a playoff ticket.
From the big hit at the beginning of the season to the 9th place in the West, the playoffs are not stable, it can be said that the Lakers' performance so far this season has been disappointing, they have not been able to play the performance expected by the outside world, and the record and the team's performance in the game are not ideal. If you want to select the most disappointing team this season, I believe many fans will mention the Lakers, because their performance this season is too bad, and there is a big gap from the expected record and performance of this team.
However, even if the Lakers' current record is not good and the team ranking is not ideal, some people are still optimistic that the Lakers will win the championship this season, that is, Artest, who has played for the Lakers before. He posted a selfie video of himself on social media in which he talked about his views on the Lakers this season.
In Atai's view, although the Lakers have a poor record this season, they have James in the team lineup, and as long as James is still on the team, the Lakers have a chance to win the championship. Atai once again said that at the beginning of the season, he was very optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, and he would still think so until the end of the season. In addition, Atai also said that he would not take back his words, James scored 56 points against a very good team, so let's see what happens next, he still supports the Lakers.
Although in most people's opinion, the Lakers want to win the championship this season, which is basically unrealistic, because they can't even determine the playoff seat at the moment, let alone win the championship. However, Atai's reason for supporting the Lakers is the same as many fans who are still optimistic about the Lakers, because the Lakers still have James in the lineup, and the team with James, they have the opportunity to impact the championship.
In the past ten seasons, James's team has basically been a championship favorite, although sometimes they have not played well in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, James can always lead the team to become better, lead the team to the finals many times, and win the championship, which is also an indisputable fact.
Although the Performance of the Lakers is very bad at this stage, it is good that James is in very good shape, and in the last game, he dreamed of returning to the peak and getting 56+10 data, creating a number of records. And if in the next game, the Lakers can maintain such momentum, James continues to play a shining performance in the game, then as Atai said, the Lakers still have the opportunity to impact the championship this season.
