Things were set to be a smooth season for the Los Angeles Lakers but the reality has been different, not only they haven't played similar to what they did in last season's playoff, but look completely off, plus coach Darvin Ham hasn't helped to give his players different roles and less playtime than in the last campaign.
Austin Reaves has been lost after having a great presentation with Team USA in this summer's FIBA World Cup, as he shot an incredible 1/12 FG with 1 out of 8 attempts from 3.
But the most worrisome aspect of all is how coach Ham is relying on Gabe Vincent giving him up to 32 minutes in the loss against the Sacramento Kings, playing even worse than Austin Reaves, and is making the fans miss Dennis Schröder, who at least did more for the team in the closing minutes of the games.
With 3-point shooting also being off for most of the Lakers stars, the fans also want to see Lonnie Walker back, a player that coaches Ham underused gluing him to the bench.
Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood helped the team to come back in the fourth quarter, but for the closing minutes and overtime he bet on Gabe Vincent and Taurean Prince, it backfired as the team lost the game with LeBron James being the only redeemable star.
