Anthony Davis Reacts to Lakers’ Early Offensive Struggles in NBA Bubble

The Los Angeles Lakers have issues with their offense. Lakers big man Anthony Davis talked about the situation inside the NBA bubble and many players will agree with him. The team has clinched the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. They definitely played like a team without much to gain in the awful loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was a 105-86 loss and the Lakers have received an unhealthy amount of criticism.

LA played starters on limited minutes. The fourth seeding game is actually the Lakers’ lowest-scoring performance of the season. LeBron James finished the game with 19 points, 11 assists on a 7-for-19 shooting. The three-time NBA champion was the only Lakers starter to get double figures. Bench players Dion Waiters and Kyle Kuzma were the Lakers’ next top scorers.

Anthony Davis goes strong inside the NBA bubble

Davis finished the game against Utah with 42 points and 12 rebounds. In the loss to OKC, Davis had nine points on 3-for-11 shooting in 29 minutes.

The Lakers are now 2-2 since the restart of the season. They struggled with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup as a replacement of Avery Bradley. Is Davis concerned about this?

“We’re getting wide open shots,” he said after the loss.

The Lakers big man was shooting 40% from the field inside the NBA bubble. LeBron is averaging 20.3 points per game. LA has made 25.2% of the three-point attempts and 30.8% from the field overall.

Davis is pretty confident about his team, and he knows that his teammates are ready for the postseason. According to Davis, the defense is really great.

“I think we’re fine,” he explained. “I don’t think anything is eye-opening, something that we need to be afraid of. The offense is going to come around.”

LA will complete the back-to-back against the Houston Rockets. It’s a big season for the Lakers and they plan to win the championship this season. Davis and LeBron will lead the team to the top, and they won’t leave the bubble without a victory. That’s why players came to Orlando, right?
