On Monday night, your Los Angeles Lakers were dominated by the Philadelphia 76ers, falling to them 138-94, a margin of 44 points. Although LA had a (very) early lead in the game, the 76ers’ late first-quarter surge all but finished the evening for LA.

The team’s humiliating defeat was compounded by the recent, significant victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game. To put it mildly, LA was thoroughly humiliated. 

Star center Anthony Davis shared his thoughts about moving on from the terrible performance after the event, and he didn’t hold back.

It was the kind of contest where a team had to reconsider their squad construction. However, they have been missing players because of injuries, and at the moment, about half of their roster is out.

They are currently putting their strong depth to a lot of testing, and it is failing. LeBron James has been the Lakers’ main player, and their reliance on him against Philadelphia was evident.

But even in a mostly healthy run, there’s a sense that something is wrong with this team. Every night they are inconsistent and you never really know what to anticipate from them.

As the year goes on, this will be something to keep an eye on. For LA to have a better chance of winning a championship this season, they will probably need to make some moves around the trade deadline.

Even though the season is far from finished, people still don’t want to play against the Lakers when the playoffs roll around. However, they need to address these issues; else, things will continue to be the same.
