Are the L.A. Lakers sinking?

The harsh reality

I’ve been an avid fan of the NBA for a few decades now. The past decade or so, not so much for the game has changed considerably! The three point shot is the new slam dunk.

The L.A. Lakers predicted this past fall that they were going to be a championship contending team. The Lakers roster say’s so for they are well decorated with today’s standard perennial all-stars.

From the likes of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and a few other role players. On paper they look good, on the court though…….. Ehhhhhhh……..

Their record speaks for itself. The ball club are under .500 and they aren’t defeating teams the way they should. Last night in Portland for instance, mind you Portland traded 4 players prior to the game and the Lakers still lost.

I personally think Mr. James is stat-padding. Stat-padding is when a player cares only for his personal numbers than winning. I’ll show ya’ll what I’m saying here:

Now the trade deadline is in a couple of days and the Lakers franchise is looking to trade Russell Westbrook for he’s been the scapegoat for this…
