NBA 2022 The Hall of Fame member criticizes the effort and desire of the team
Thomas SheaUSA TODAY Sports
Lto season of Lakers It is far from what was expected in the preseason. They were favorites to reach the Finals, but at the moment they are 9 games under .500 after losing to the worst team in the league, the Rocketson Wednesday night, which blew up a legend who has his jersey hanging from the ceiling of the Crypto.com Arena.
“I didn’t think we could play lower, but we played lower today. That the worst team in the league would dominate you in overtime … “said James Worthy, a former Lakers player and now an analyst of Spectrum.
The list of paperones of the Lakers is considerable. not only his mark of 28-37, they’ve already lost two games to the Thunder, the second worst in the West. The Clippers have beaten them seven in a row, even the last ones without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Eight losses by at least 15 points. Everything makes Worthy believe that the team has thrown in the towel.
“For me, at the beginning of the season, there were a lot of expectations and we are at a point where they know they will not meet those expectations, even without AD, the injuries and all that. They should be better than that. They should be between the sixth and seventh. They didn’t start the preseason well and now they realize they can’t win. Is what I believe. They can’t beat the Suns or the top teams. They haven’t been pronounced dead, but they don’t have the tenacity or the will or the desire to fight their way out of this, or even make it to Play In. They don’t seem to believe in anything they’re doing.”
“Doesn’t seem like they believe in anything they are doing.” @JamesWorthy42, @MettaWorld37 & @ geeter3 share their thoughts on the #Lakers disappointing loss in OT. pic.twitter.com/KUZUquiqho
