The geriatric Lakers are counting on LeBron James for too much, and it's going to cost them big if Russell Westbrook and crew can't do more.
LeBron James surpasses Kobe Bryant as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on Christmas, but it’s not enough to prevent the Lakers’ fifth consecutive loss.“To watch it and to be a part of it even though those games are turning into Ls, I’ve never seen anything like this guy,”said, “and we better sure as hell be thanking our lucky stars for this guy. He has given us the most beautiful basketball for the last however many years and he’s still giving it to us on Christmas Day.
But there has to be more to the Lakers than James and a bunch of guys who take up space, and without the injured Anthony Davis to share the burden, the team’s already-flawed roster looks infinitely worse. A team built around the players James wanted to play with and that looked unbalanced to start now looks like a team that will struggle to finish in the top six in the West and avoid a play-in situation.
Asked what the Lakers can do to maintain momentum during the times James inevitably must take a rest, Fizdale was at a loss. They showed enough spark and energy to take an 68-66 lead early in the third quarter but were then overrun by a 16-8 Brooklyn run, and their fourth-quarter comeback was exciting but not enough to end their losing streak.
