Los Angeles Lakers: 3 Takeaways from an awful loss to Atlanta Hawks

Time for the young core to take over

TNT’s Shaquille O’Neal talked about chemistry and how it attains to the Boston Celtics. You need to listen to this because they are the actual East coast version of you guys…

Okay fellas. You really don’t need the meeting because that’s happened already. However, between the three of you, this season can be turned around and this team can sneak into the playoffs. The great thing about the Anthony Davis situation is that you know what it is. LeBron James is not going to do for you what Curry does for the Warriors.

But Lonzo Ball will. He will make sure you will get the ball when you run. Remember this worked at times throughout the season. If he can hit a shot once a week.

There’s a component right there.

Use it.

Kyle Kuzma.

Be the bonafide scorer in this league that is not scared to put up shots. The Lakers need that dude that put up 39 against the Sixers and gave the Pistons 41 in three-quarters.

Okay that’s a component. Then let’s work on the defense. Watch your other sidekick for inspiration that being.

Brandon Ingram.

Don’t stop doing what you are doing. Stay within that mid-range area you love so much. Finish at the rim with that George “Iceman” Gervin length.

Keep cutting to the basket for easy baskets. LeBron needs to pass the ball for assists for his coveted triple-doubles, take advantage.

A guy that can catch a alley-oop and finish from three-quarters of the basketball court belongs in a Lakers uniform.

But now it’s time for a dose of reality. You guys are going to see this scenario again. As of right now you have two choices.

You can face this after the playoff run or in 25 games. It is now up to you.

Show Magic Johnson that you three can be the future of the franchise. If the Los Angeles Lakers trade you, cool, you will already be prepared to be the face of your own franchises and make a ton of money with your max deals.

We all know what LeBron James has.

It’s time to show the world what you have. If you do, the Lakers will be in the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Lakers are now past the halfway point in their long journey through the NBA season. Lake Show Life will be there every step of the way. Continue to check in for Lakers news, previews and reviews.
