Deep dives
Lakers: Do we believe their wraps?
The Lakers have been struggling on the court, with a 2-8 record in their last 10 games. Offensively, they rank 24th in the league and their defensive performance hasn't been much better, ranking 10th. The team has faced issues with rotations and inconsistency. There are reports of a disconnect between coach Frank Vogel and the players, which can further hinder their performance. The Lakers will need to make some changes and find a way to improve both on offense and defense if they want to turn their season around.
