Many of the reasoning for the Lakers’ struggle can be put on their lack of staying healthy. It has been nothing short of a disappointing season for the Lakers so far this season as they sit at 12-12. They are already nearly 25 games into the regular season and with how disappointing they have played this year, they’re going to want to get things going to start playing the way many know they can.
This is not good for the Lakers as they want to get everybody back and healthy to form some chemistry before the playoffs. “Still looks like he has a ways to go to get his legs under him.” Vogel said the Lakers will wait until he’s “all the way back” before putting him in games.” Trevor Ariza “participated in live-action for the first time in scrimmage play” on Monday. 13 of the 15 teams in the conference could make a fair argument on why they might be a playoff team at the end of the season.“Kendrick Nunn (knee bone bruise) is unlikely to make his Lakers debut before the New Year” While the Nets currently top the East despite some shaky play, the rest of the East looks to be in for a tight finish. They currently sit at 11-5 and seem to look like a team who will find themselves competing for a playoff spot at the end of the season. The Wizards have jumped out to a hot start in the Eastern Conference to much surprise. There are still a lot of games to be played and these teams are sure to rally back up to the top but for now, fans have to be asking some questions. Milwaukee just has a little championship hangover, they’ll be fine.
Once LeBron James and Joel Embiid return to full health, you can probably bet on Los Angeles and Philadelphia surging back towards the top. Teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in the middle of the pack early on in the season. While these two Western Conference teams have surged, other teams who could be considered elite have struggled by their standards. NBA Power Rankings: Golden State soar while Lakers dip
