On April 1, Beijing time, when the Lakers lack the two cores of Zhan Mei, can they still kill the Jazz three times this season? Sorry, Westbrook and Howard played a good performance, but they are still powerless to lead the lakers to win. After the Lakers lost to the Jazz for the first time in the season, their record slipped to 31 wins and 45 losses, and they were once again overtaken by the Spurs to fall to the 11th place in the West. The Remaining 6 games of the Lakers are only relatively easy for the Thunder, and it is basically difficult to counterattack and advance to the playoffs in the face of the Devil's schedule constraints.
With the Lakers losing to the Jazz, the specific record ranking of the 9-11 place in the West is as follows:
9. The Pelicans won 33 and lost 43
10. Spurs won 31 and lost 45
11. The Lakers won 31 and lost 45
The Lakers swallowed a four-game losing streak after losing to the Jazz, and they are already two wins behind the Pelicans, who are 9th in the West, and it is extremely difficult to counterattack. More critically, after the Lakers lost, the record became 31 wins and 45 losses, and their record with the Spurs was equal, but they had been overtaken by the Spurs and fell to the 11th place in the West again.
In the four meetings with the Spurs this season, the Lakers and the Spurs drew 2-2, but the Spurs had a better record against the Western conference team, so the Spurs pushed the Lakers to rise to the 10th place in the West again.
After the Lakers lost, they fell out of the Western Conference playoff area again, and with 6 games left, the Lakers need to fight for every game in the future, otherwise they have little hope of counterattacking to advance to the playoffs.
The Remaining opponents of the Lakers are: two games for the Nuggets in the top six of the West, one for the Suns and one for the Warriors, and a direct confrontation with the Pelicans, plus the only game against the thunder, a weak team. There is no doubt that the Lakers in addition to winning the Thunder are more certain, the other 5 games are dangerous, the Nuggets and Warriors are in the card position battle stage, need to count on the sun to release water, but obviously the sun is basically impossible to release water to complete the Lakers.
As for the remaining schedule of the Spurs, it is easier than the Lakers, and it also puts the Lakers in an extremely dangerous situation. James and The Thick Brow brother are expected to return in the next game, but they face off against the pelicans in a direct card battle, and whether they can lead the team to win such a victory is crucial.
