The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are two of the teams that started out as favorites to win the ring at the beginning of the course, but whose campaign has not been linked to the top positions in the Western Conference.. Both teams are branded as two of the disappointments of this course and, approaching the end of the regular season, LeBron James and Steph Curry are about to fall back into the abyss.
on the angel side Russell Westbrook He was the player who received the most criticism during the first half of the season for his tiny contribution, but Little did it take LeBron and Anthony Davis, the two stars of the team, to realize that the real problem was not the current Clippers player, but the block in general. Without them on the track, the Lakers continually show problems in all areas of the game, especially defensiveand this is already beginning to bring the franchise closer to the officialization of a new historical failure such as the one that would mean staying out of the play-off.
Of course, the disappointments are not only being experienced in southern California since in the northern wing of said state, in San Francisco, the Warriors are also signing very unrewarding performances for their interests. Steph Curry’s return to the scene is becoming noticeable in individual terms as the marks of the Akron point guard in recent weeks have been enormous, scoring 50 points last night against the Clippersbut the defeats continue to happen in the franchise led by Steve Kerr and, like the Lakers, there are many doubts that the Warriors can avoid the play-in.
Only 12 games remain, in some cases 13, to be played before the start of the play-off y much less LeBron and Curry have their presence guaranteed in the decisive phase.
While in the East the fight looks at three teams, in the Western Conference there are seven franchises that want to speed up their chances of sneaking into the top seven, Lakers, Warriors, Mavs, Thunder, Pelicans, Jazz y Timberwolves. All of them move in a difference of three victories and, taking into account the irregularity shown in California, that LeBron or Curry fall into the abyss is an increasingly high probability: A hectic month awaits us.
