The drafting of Marvel players
After two consecutive crushing defeats, it’s obvious that LeBron James is feeling the effects of the Lakers’ incompetence.
Following last night’s 135-119 loss to the Rockets, the Lakers dropped to a losing record of 138-122 against the Hawks, dropping them below.500 for the season.
“We could, on any given night, beаt any team in the NBA,” James stated following Atlanta’s defeat. Then again, any NBA club could stomp all over us on any given night. I’m simply stating the facts. Is this our record? Less than.500? Tell me, twenty-four or twenty-five? That’s our current situation.
As if that weren’t bad enough, the Lakers’ next game is against the league-leading Celtics at TD Garden, where they own a 22-2 record on the court.
Then, following that, the purple and gold will face the Knicks, who had a 14-2 record in January.
We wаnted to know whether James had anything to sаy to the team before those two games, so we asked.
My teammates don’t need to hear anything from me,” he said frankly. Put your ego aside and get the task done.
“I meаn…” was James’s opening statement to the press before a LA staffer cut him off.
James looked away from the media and replied, “Appreciate it.” That was somewhat abrupt of you to interrupt me. Reason being, I was going to enter the building shortly.
Less than two hours after that, LeBron uploaded a mysteriоus message to his X page.
James’ or Darvin Ham’s time with the Lakers is up, or LeBron’s food delivery guy is taking too long; these are just a few of the many possible interpretations of the message. I don’t know.
One thing is certain, though: the Lakers must begin winning by improving their communication.
“If I had that answer, it would be fixed,” Austin Reaves remarked in response to a question regarding the team’s persistent communication problems. I think each of us had to take a good hard look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, “What are we bringing to the table?” That was the first step. We should have taken care of things thereafter, as you mentioned. I think we’re better than our record shows, though.
