The Lakers are going through a tough season, in the past 14 games, they have lost a full 11 games, the team's record has declined all the way to 29 wins and 40 losses, although still in the ninth place in the West, but only 2.5 wins ahead of the Tenth Spurs in the West, if they continue to lose like this, they are entirely likely to lose the play-off qualification.
How exactly can the Lakers get out of their current predicament? Today, well-known analyst Chris Broussard made a suggestion on one of his shows: fire Vogel.
"Heck, why don't we do that?" What difference does it make to put Phil Handy or David Fitzdale or someone else there? It may even give the team a whole new impetus. Chris Broussard said.
In a way, Chris Broussard's advice makes some sense.
Admittedly, this season's Lakers have come this far for a number of reasons. For example, Westbrook's inability to integrate into the team, the team's continued injuries, the team's poor defense at this stage... However, missing the signing and reinforcement window on the trade deadline, they have almost no room for adjustment from the players, so changing a manager is an option.
Fitzdale had previously coached the team briefly during Vogel's absence, during which time he creatively made James cameo as a center, and the team had a good record during that time, but with Vogel's return, the team once again fell into the mire.
But then again, as the head coach who led the team to win the championship two years ago, Vogel has both credit for this team and has proved his ability, and when the Lakers are currently in trouble, people will always habitually find reasons from players instead of holding the coach responsible. If the Lakers choose to fire Vogel at this time, it will definitely cause a relatively large controversy.
