The Los Angeles Lakers had a hot start to the 2024-2025 NBA season.
It gave Lakers fans confidence that this team was on the right track.
Their hot start was encouraging, and it looked like the JJ Redick era was starting on the right foot.
However, things haven’t looked so great for the Lakers lately, and many people are starting to question their takes on this team from the first few weeks of the season.
They are coming off an overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks, their third straight loss.
They haven’t been able to close out games lately, a cause of concern for a team whose core is built around LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Fans continue to be vocal about this team, and the criticism and comments seem to get extra loud when things aren’t going well.
From fans making suggestions to the front office to blaming Redick for their shortcomings, it is clear that Lakers fans want something to change.
The season is long and grueling, and if they keep this pace moving forward, it will be hard for them to stay in playoff contention, especially if they want to avoid the Play-In Tournament.
The Lakers are a historic team with a championship pedigree, but they don’t seem to be playing like that at the moment.
