It's really hard to find a team that is worse than the Lakers this season, and it was hailed as the number one championship hit in the West at the beginning of the season, but as the season progresses, it all seems to be getting farther and farther away from expectations. Now the Lakers can even keep the playoff seats, the primary goal is to get the playoff places, but in the state of the Lakers, in the single elimination of the playoffs, the Purple and Gold Army obviously does not have much chance of winning.
Facing the raptors in the seventh place in the East today, the start was directly unbearable, and it is estimated that many fans will not be able to watch it in a few minutes. A direct wave of 21-2 in the opening was really hot-eyed, and the first quarter was 12-33 behind. And the Lakers' shooting percentage of the entire team is out of the sky, especially the three-point shot on the outside line, shooting out of the village team level. Back-to-back two games, two big scores of fiasco, this is actually the epitome of the Lakers this season, facing the strong team basically has no chance of winning, facing the weak team can only be a five-five situation, this Lakers has fallen to the bottom, all this seems to have been settled. It is not that the Raptors are absolutely strong, but the Lakers can't fight anyone now, and no one is sure of fighting, and less loss is a win.
In fact, this year's James's state is still there for all to see, last week's two 50+ team wins, of which the Warriors who defeated the third in the league are full of gold, which is enough to show that James is not old even if he is 37 years old. But the helpless team's problems are still too many, full of holes, it is difficult to rely on a James to cover it up. In fact, fundamentally speaking, dismantling the championship lineup after winning the championship in 2020 is still the most important factor. Coupled with Zhan Mei's full of injuries and illnesses, the Lakers' record in the past two years has been unsatisfactory. This season is even more deadly, with a record of 29 wins and 39 losses falling to 42.6%, just one win ahead of the pelicans in the tenth western conference behind them.
Looking at James' form this season, averaging 29.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, a new high in the 07-08 scoring season, it is hard to imagine that this is Already James' nineteenth season. Although James's vitality is still there, it is not the James of 2018 after all, and he cannot lead the team to the finals with his own strength. It can only be said that in today's Lakers, it is wasting the last peak of James's career. Of course, this season James' goal is to surpass Malone in total regular season points and open the 37,000-point mark. As long as James stays healthy, the fans are enough, the Lakers cheer up, and hopefully there will be a miracle!
