Anthony Davis Shares Brutally Honest Assessment Of The Lakers

Anthony Davis has shared a brutally honest assessment of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have started off the season very slowly. They have failed to impress the fans that were expecting to see a very good team take the court each night. The roster, at least on paper, should be one of the best in the NBA. But so far, they have failed to live up to expectations. One of the bright spots of the team has been Anthony Davis.

Anthony Davis talked about his assessment of the Lakers right now and it is not pretty.

“We sucked,” Davis said when asked about the game. “No defense. Can’t score. That’s not just this third quarter, it’s every third quarter we’ve played this season. We come out slow, lackadaisical offensively and defensively. We got to get it together. Why? I can’t tell you. But we got to do a better job.”

“We got to decide who we want to be. A championship team? That’s not us right now,” Davis said. “We’re not winning a championship the way we’re playing. We got to be better, and we got to care more for our wins at home. Wins in general. That was embarrassing.”

“What we can’t do is, one, point the finger,” Davis said. “You know, ‘It was you.’ ‘It was you.’ ‘It was you.’ ‘This play was you.’ Like, we got to stay together. And we’ll stay together. But also, we got to learn from the film. And so the film tomorrow is going to be big for us to have another heart to heart about these type of games. We hate feeling this way. Obviously, if we lose — we’re going to lose games, everybody loses games. But doing it the right way. Having a team actually beat us. Not beating ourselves.

They did suck and they should be upset at their performance so far this season. From the sounds of it, and this is probably obvious, the team is not happy either. But they need to figure out what is going wrong so they can fix it going forward.

Head coach Frank Vogel also talked about the game.

“Well, there’s no better motivator than a bad loss,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “I think our guys are angry, our coaching staff is angry, and we’ll get back to work and do whatever we need to do to fix it and get our execution better. And all of those things: effort, focus, execution.”
