Not very far from elimination for the next play-in, the Lakers no longer really have the right to make mistakes in the weeks to come. However, nothing is lost, if the roster decides to win. Anthony Davis has just made a revelation, in particular on the thought of LeBron James.
Beaten for the third time this season by the Pelicans, the Lakers have probably said goodbye to 9th place in the Western Conference. Fortunately for them, there are still possibilities to recover the 10th with the Spurs, but it will not be easy. No choice for this team, we have to start winning, and start a new series of victories.
A perfect in sight for the Lakers?
Can this roster do it? Obviously the answer is yes, at least if you ask the players. Asked about the outcome of the season, Anthony Davis is sure of himself: the Lakers can win everything. Truth be told, LeBron James agrees.
AD said he, LeBron, and the entire #Lakers locker room believes they can go 5-0 to finish the season.

Russell Westbrook ruled out until the end of the season? He reacts honestly!
Dare? Yes, especially in the case of the Lakers, who will not finish the season with an easy schedule. There will be OKC yes, but it’s the only team that won’t play in the playoffs. Worse ? The other 3 opponents want to win the title, which promises strong resistance. Suffice to say that for the Angelinos, it will be necessary to hang on to get a 5-0.

Can the Lakers go 5-0? Given their current form and the opponents to come, everything suggests that no, certainly not. It will take a real wake-up call for Frank Vogel’s men, unable to raise their level of play for months. Beginning of response Sunday, against Denver.
