Lakers are currently ranked eleventh in the western conference. Why are the Lakers performing so poor, it’s due to the lack of the chemistry of the team contains. The Lakers team performance against the bulls failed miserably to get any resemblance of a functioning offense, which eventually lead the star-studded team to a loss.
“We’re going to have to change something . . . probably going to have to post the ball a lot more, slow the game down a lot more,” Kobe Bryant said Monday after the Lakers lost to Chicago, 95-83.
Kobe Bryant, future hall of famer, astonishingly, is putting up stupendous numbers that contradict the current Lakers performance. Center, Dwight Howard receives little touch on the bull. A trade that Lakers Fan presumed will render them unstoppable, but in reality the Lakers are playing like a dysfunctional group of college basketball players. Gasol was placed as a sixth man, which infuriated him and possibly a reason for his horrendous performances.Kobeis trying very hard to return the Lakers to their former elite rank.
“I’m not excited about it,” said Gasol, who had 15 points and 12 rebounds. “But right now I’m more worried about us as a team and us struggling, so it would be selfish of me talking how I feel about [this] in particular.”
He said things were “very, very tough … very, very frustrating,” and that he was “trying to keep my cool,” after the Lakers loss the Bulls.
“We’re going to have to change something … probably going to have to post the ball a lot more, slow the game down a lot more,” he said. “To put this kind of brand of basketball on the floor is just not acceptable.”
Dwight seems to be uncomfortable with the head coach Mike D’Antoni. It appears that Howard craves more touches on the ball and this will not occur because the focal point of the team is Kobe Bryant. Dwight might be traded to a different team due to his needs of being the center attention as he was inOrlando,
Dwight Howard had only five shots Monday and said he wanted more touches because “I can’t do what I do best with five shots.”
ESPN Los Angeles reported Tuesday, citing “sources close to the situation” that the Lakers might be forced to consider trading Howard.
