The team is struggling because of bench depth due to injuries (and suspension), not a lack of talent. Come January, assuming everyone is healthy (asides from Steve-O and BC), guys like Laravia and Junior probably don’t see the court, and even an impactful role player like Jitty will have a tough time cracking the rotation. It’ll be easy to forget that we ever started 0-4.
A starting 5 of Ja, Bane, Smart, Jaren, and X can win games, and a second unit with Santi, Kennard, and Roddy can keep you in it. Want an upgrade at the wing or a new starting center? The organization has the assets to make a splash before the deadline. This season is far from over.
The Lakers started 0-5 last year and bounced a 51-win second seed in the first round, so a slow start doesn’t mean you can’t still make a run. Y’all need to chill.
This is why im not worried, im just waiting it out first 25 games dont matter too much as long as we win atleast 50-60% of them. I’ve mainly been looking on the brightside in the sense of our defense is amazing and our hustle is good, ive also notice our board game has gotten better which is good. Although i wont lie it has been tough watching games like the denver and wizards one, those ones hurt…
