The Los Angeles Lakers can’t find a way to beat the Denver Nuggets.
They’ve dropped eight consecutive games to them.
Notably, they’re not the only Western Conference foe that has dominated them with ease as of late.
They’re also 0-4 against the Sacramento Kings this season.
This includes Wednesday night’s loss in a game they seemed to be in control of, and that’s with the Kings missing a key role player such as Kevin Huerter.
Following the defeat, LeBron James acknowledged that the Kings seem to have their number (via Spectrum SportsNet).
“They have our number this year, for sure,” James said The Lakers collapsed in the second half, with Mike Brown making adjustments, and Darvin Ham failing to keep up.
That has been a constant trend since Ham took the reins of the team.
He usually gets outcoached and can’t seem to crack the code as to what to do to get his team back on track.
Brown is a savvy veteran who’s been there and done that, while Ham is in his second year and has left plenty to be desired with his rotations, decision-making, and timeout management.
The Lakers continue to go back and forth with contention.
They look like a legitimate NBA championship one day, and then struggle mightily the other.
Inconsistent teams rarely fare well in the playoffs.
The Lakers haven’t even secured a spot in the postseason, and even if they do, it seems like they won’t be able to win four out of seven against playoff contenders, not even with Anthony Davis playing at a high level
