In their game against the Toronto Raptors, the Lakers’ superstar, LeBron James has thrown a tantrum and shown frustration towards his teammates.
They were obviously playing poorly in that contest. Their defense was pretty non-existent and they were not moving the ball very well. Top that with poor rebounding, and it’s already a recipe for disaster.
In the second quarter, the King showed distaste to his teammates due to their lackluster defense. The Raptors were absolutely crushing and outrebounding the Lakers in that game, which infuriated LBJ.
“Get The F**k In There And Get A F**kin Rebound, God Damn It.” – LeBron angrily shouted on his teammates during a missed defensive rebound
LeBron has been the starting center for the Lakers, but it has not panned out so far.
They’ve been playing small ball line-up since Anthony Davis is out due to injuries. Surprisingly, they also waived a true center, DeAndre Jordan, who was a good rim defender and rebounder.
Since the All-Star break, the Lakers were only able to win 2 out of their last 10 games.
The former champions aren’t looking good out there. They seem like a “lost cause” and look like they have already thrown their championship hopes out of the window. Even though on paper, they are statistically stacked with great talents and former all-stars, they still look, MEDIOCRE, to say the least.
There could be a lot of reasons behind their underperformance. Some blame LeBron, others blame Westbrook, while others point their fingers at Frank Vogel’s decision-making. While it’s evident that the Los Angeles Lakers are struggling, they still have ample time to recover. If they survive the play-in tournament, they can redeem themselves in the coming playoffs.
