The leaders of the Los Angeles Lakers were very self-critical after losing at home on Christmas Day against their staunch rivals, the Boston Celtics by a large score of 126 to 115. The great figure of the Los Angeles quintet, LeBron James, commented that the team is not where they would like to be, not even to play against the best.

The Lakers continue to sink in the Western Conference after suffering their fifteenth loss of the season and fell to ninth place. After having won the In-Season Tournament in its inaugural edition, the Los Angeles franchise has only two wins in the last eight games.

The other star of the Lakers, Anthony Davis, was also forceful about what they have to improve before the duel against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday to be played at the Crypto.com Arena. The ‘Eyebrow’ comes from scoring 40 points and continues to be the leader on offense above LeBron James, but the team has to improve a lot on defense.

“We have to improve on defense. We are making a lot of mistakes in transitions. I think that offensively we are going to be good, but we have to defend better,” said Anthony Davis.

 

The Lakers’ big problem this season has been having a healthy team game after game. Although coach Darvin Ham insists that he can solve the problems with the players he has on the roster, executives will have to be forced to look at the market before it closes on February 8.

The solution seems to be that he is not at home and a name has been added to the list of possible arrivals, that of Dejounte Murray. He is a player who led steals in the 2021/22 season with the San Antonio Spurs and was included in the best defensive team in previous years.

A player that the Lakers urgently need, according to Anthony Davis, if they want to reach the top of the Western Conference and compete for the championship. Executives will be forced to make moves to bolster the team in its aspirations to reach the NBA Finals this season.
