Angry LeBron points to the Lakers’ big deal, Westbrook referred to?

The Lakers fell again this Wednesday night, proving that the team is far from having solved its problems. For LeBron James, there is above all one area that needs improvement.

Nothing is getting better for the Lakers, as the year 2021 will come to an end. The defense is absent, the losses numerous and all that, despite a great LeBron James. The latter scored more than 30 points against Memphis, all with a career record. And yet, the victory is not at the end.

Fans are frustrated as they feel the Angelinos are spoiling the performances of the King, who turns 37 years old this December 30. Great performances for nothing, because a lot of players are not up to the level. However, the problem appears to be global in Los Angeles, and in several areas.

LeBron’s big problem for the Lakers

Unsurprisingly, frustration begins to be felt in the locker room. Dave Fizdale slaughtered the stats page in front of the media, while LeBron was content to highlight the big Angelinos issue so far. And yes, he decided to point the turnovers.

LeBron says the team needs to cut down on “careless turnovers” because “those are the ones that gets us in trouble.”

LeBron says the team needs to stop with these reckless ball drops as they are the ones putting the team in big trouble.

A message for Westbrook? He is the one who loses the ball most often, with 5 losses against the Grizzlies. In total, the Lakers have lost 18 times, compared to 11 for Memphis. A small gap, which makes the difference in a meeting that is played on so little.

We could also mention the faults, since LeBron’s teammates committed 25 in this game, against 11 for their opponents. Free points, which hurt very badly at the finish for the Poupre and Or. It’s hard to see how this team will settle all this in such a short time. A trade? The fans hope.

The Lakers can’t do it, far from it with their 17-19 record. It only takes a few more losses, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a quick trade. The defeats follow one another, forcing the front office to find solutions.
