On April 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 118-129, suffering 6 consecutive losses. And because the Spurs win, the win gap between the two sides has been widened to 2 wins, and because of the dominance of the record in the same zone and the record of each other, even if the two sides finally have the same record, it is also the top ranking of the Spurs, which also means that the Lakers are likely to miss the play-offs this season.
From the offseason formation of the Big 3, perkins predicted to win 70, will rush out of the Western Conference and the Nets division finals, to now the playoffs may not be able to enter, the Lakers' performance this season, is really a big surprise. So how did the Lakers end up here? Brother Thick Brow also gave his opinion after losing to the Nuggets.
"If we stay healthy all season, what will happen to us? James only played 56 games, I only played 39, and Nunn didn't play one all season. When we were well armed, we were really strong on the books, but some of our players were always in and out of the squad because of injuries, so we didn't live up to expectations. Brother Thick Brow said.
It must be admitted that the Lakers have indeed been affected by injuries this season, but the problem is that if the Lakers failed to get the top position in the regular season, it is understandable to throw the pot to the injury. But now the Lakers can't even get into the playoffs, and the record is so poor that it is obviously untenable to blame the problem on injuries.
Because in the West, there are teams with more serious injuries than the Lakers. The Nuggets are missing Murray and Porter Jr., the Clippers' twin stars, Leonard has not played a game so far, and George has only just returned at the end of the season. In terms of injury losses, these two teams are more serious than the Lakers, but both the Nuggets and the Clippers have a significantly better record than the Lakers.
The lineup is not understood, the coach's platoon arrangement has been questioned, and even the game where the 3 giants are present at the same time, Westbrook, James and the thick eyebrow brother are not compatible at all, it is difficult to have a chemical reaction, which is also a visible fact to the naked eye. These problems are far more deadly than injuries. But the Lakers always ignore these problems and will only throw the pot to injuries, which may be the reason why they will fall here. And if the Lakers still can't see this clearly, then not only will they suffer failures this season, but it may be difficult to improve in the future.
