Russell Westbrook tells AD he’s tired after leading Lakers vs Jazz
While projections had the Los Angeles Lakers winning the West, this season, there were also some who said this experiment could go wrong. Those who said it could go wrong were right. LeBron James was eager to compete for another championship. Last season, the Lakers got off to a 22-7 start. An injury to Anthony Davis ruined the Lakers’ season. They fell to the equivalent of a 48-34 record and into the play-in. LeBron James got revenge on the Warriors, but then his Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns.
The Lakers revamped their roster to defeat the Suns. Their roster changes were also to handle the Jazz, Clippers, and Warriors. Not only are the Lakers not competing with those teams, they should have also prepared for the Grizzlies. This season, the Suns, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Warriors, Nuggets, and Jazz have led the West. As far as the play-in range, there are the Timberwolves, Clippers, Pelicans, and suddenly the Spurs stand in the Lakers’ way.
Injuries have mounted up on the Lakers, this season. Russell Westbrook has unfairly taken most of the blame for this year’s struggles. Last night, Russell Westbrook finally came into his own in the role designated for him. The past few weeks, Russell Westbrook has played well. With the Lakers’ leaders out, Russell Westbrook held it down against the Jazz. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Utah was too much for them. When Westbrook went back to the bench, he told Anthony Davis he was tired.
