Los Angeles Lakers Ahead of them is a challenging six-game road trip, as they visit teams from the East Coast of the United States. Given the inconsistent streak of results the Los Angeles team has been going through, the journey presents an even greater challenge for them.
“What a journey ahead of us! We will be getting tested by some very good teams, so we will see what we have made.” LeBron James About what’s to come for the Lakers.
Starting Friday, the Lakers will start their first away game when they visit Orlando Magic. they will follow Miami HeatAnd Brooklyn NetworksAnd Philadelphia 76ersAnd Charlotte Hornets s Atlanta Hawks. It will be until February 2nd when Angelos returns to the floor of the Crypto.com Arena.
In the last home game before the trip, the Lakers suffered another painful defeat. This time against the Indiana Pacers 111-104 on Wednesday night. Given that Indiana had lost ten of its last 11 games, the Purple and Gold knew it was a game they had to win. But they ended in disaster. The same left new frustration in the group by not repeating Monday’s great victory against the Utah Jazz.
“It was a very disappointing loss for a team with a record minus 0.500 per season and at our house. It is a game we felt we could win and we have to win those games you know you can win. It’s frustrating for sure,” coach Frank Vogel said after the loss to the Pacers. “.
With the latter result, the Lakers fell again in the standings. They are eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 22 wins and 23 losses, from post-season positions.
“I hate losing, there’s obviously a level of frustration; especially because I think we have a team to win games and we have a win percentage above 0.500,” said LeBron, who leads the NBA vote in the All-Star Game.
LeBron James, in his 19th season in the NBA, is having an impressive solo campaign. He averages 28.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. However, the results as a group do not support this.
“That’s what we are, I can’t sit here and say we have to be this and that. As of today, we are a team with a negative record and we have to play better,” he said.
