Losing is tolerable, but it is incomprehensible that the first quarter has been played.
Beijing time on March 15, 2022, the Lakers against the Raptors, originally thought that the Lakers just lost to the Suns (140-111) after 29 points, will bottom out, but who knows another loss, 103-114 lost 11 points, this can be understood, after all, the Lakers are in a really bad state now, but the first quarter was played by the opponent 33-12, a single quarter lost 21 points, which can not be said, because in the last game, they played the Suns, the first quarter was also beaten by the other side, 48-22 crazy loss of 26 points, really from where to fall, in which place to fall again ah, two consecutive games in the first quarter of the first quarter of the loss of more than 20 points, before all said the Lakers are "lake three collapse", now feel like "lake a collapse".
Judging from the situation of the Lakers, their problems are not only at the technical and tactical and lineup levels, but also a problem of will and morale, and perhaps their locker rooms are not well communicated. People are divided, they are fighting their own battles, there is no good defense without good communication, and perhaps some players have begun to think about where to go fishing in the offseason.
Previously, the Lakers were not able to leave Dudley, a locker room bigwig, and now it seems that it is really a very wrong decision, James's energy is more focused on the basketball court, the energy in the locker room is relatively less, and no dressing room player is indeed prone to communication problems.
Now the situation for the Lakers is that after the All-Star Weekend, except for the two games that James cut 50+, no other games have been won, and they are currently in the ninth position in the West with 29 wins and 39 losses, 1 win difference ahead of the tenth Pelicans, 2.5 wins ahead of the eleventh Blazers, and if they continue to lose, the playoff seats are a problem. And see how the Lakers adjust.
