With their run to the western conference finals in the previous season and their solid summer maneuvers, the Los Angeles Lakers were expected to be a serious contender for the NBA championship this season.
Los Angeles has unfortunately failed to reclaim its identity once more.
As the 2023–24 nba regular season approaches its halfway point, the team’s current standing is at.500, much less than they had expected.
Despite the fact that the lakers have had some impressive victories over the course of the regular season, including beating the Los Angeles clippers (twice), Oklahoma city thunder (twice), and winning the league’s first-ever in-season tournament, the storied franchise is still struggling and doesn’t seem to have a chance in a seven-game series against some of the league’s best teams.
