Another day and yet another loss for the Los Angeles Lakers. When this team finished with a 33-49 record last season, the feeling was that 2022-23 surely can’t be as bad, and that’s correct; it has been much worse.

The Lakers started off the season 0-5, but a 2-game-winning run after that gave hope that maybe things were about to get better. Unfortunately, that has not been the case as they have proceeded to lose 3 in a row after that to fall to 2-8.

The latest defeat came at the hands of Jazz, who have now beaten the Lakers twice in less than a week. This 139-116 loss was their biggest of the season, and their defense, which was so good at the start of this campaign, is falling apart now. Head coach Darvin Ham was pretty defiant after the game, though, as he is confident they can turn things around and added that he didn’t come to the Lakers to lose. Anthony Davis, who has come under fire for his no-shows in the second halves, admitted after the game that this poor start has been a hard pill for him to swallow. 

Anthony Davis on where the team is after 10 games: "Obviously it sucks. We don't want to be 2-8 at all."

Cites the injuries but adds, "Shit, 2-8 is a hard pill for me to swallow."

Anthony Davis on where the team is after 10 games: “Obviously it sucks. We don’t want to be 2-8 at all.”

Cites the injuries but adds, “Sh**, 2-8 is a hard pill for me to swallow.”

He needs to play better if they are to turn things around, and there is no other way to look at this. Russell Westbrook has been great off the bench, and if the Lakers can get more from AD and LeBron James, who missed this game, then they would be doing a lot better.

Both James and Davis have underwhelmed so far this season, with one executive saying that they seem to be in decline, and if that is really the case, then the Lakers are doomed. It is a bit crazy to think that if Matt Ryan hadn’t hit that ridiculous shot at the buzzer to send the game to overtime against the Pelicans, then the Lakers would be tied with the Rockets for the worst record in the NBA. Something has to change at this point, and you wonder when the front office will pull the trigger.

His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
