Los Angeles Lakers: 3 positive spins from dreadful Orlando bubble games
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Lakers have been dreadful in the Orlando bubble. Period.
The Los Angeles Lakers are 2-3 in the Orlando bubble thus far and while the team’s last two games technically did not count towards anything, it has still been hard to stomach watching how dreadful the team has been in five games.
The Lakers have set a new season-low in field goal percentage on three separate occasions in the bubble and have been absolutely terrible from beyond the arc. The team has shot a combined 23.3 percent from beyond the arc in the last three games.
Even the team’s two wins were not all that special. The win over the Los Angeles Clippers was a great feel-good win where the Lakers still shot terribly and the win over Utah was fueled by Anthony Davis and a really bad shooting night from Utah where they missed plenty of open looks.
I know that a lot of Laker fans are not even thinking about hitting the panic button and there is nothing wrong with having confidence, but we cannot ignore how bad the Lakers have been in the bubble thus far.
To lighten the mood after a distasteful blowout loss to the Houston Rockets — albeit without LeBron James — we decided to take three positive spins about the Los Angeles Lakers’ dreadful showing at the Orlando bubble thus far.
