Lakers vs Clipers

LOS ANGELES :

Lakers

 As Lakers keeper Russell Westbrook advanced a hat-trick versus the Clippers, his fans groaned before the ball left his hand. The shot went off the border, justifying the fans' fear.

Westbrook:

 fail his three throws in the game on Thursday.

He was a microcosm of the two biggest problems "Lakers" have faced this season:

Westbrook and shooting. Time and again Thursday night, Lakers followers remained quiet as the team continued to discharge. and missing. And they miss more. There were sufficient bricks for the "Lakers" to offer as an infrastructure plan.

Through the first two games of the season, Lakers fired an almost vague 20 for 86 from a 3-point range (23.4 percent). That was the biggest factor in their loss to Golden State in their season key on Tuesday and their 104-97 loss to the Clippers on Thursday night.

In a league where deep shots have evolved from being strange additions to the driving force of contemporary scoring, the Lakers built their roster without enough equipped players to maximize this style of play. 

This summer, the Lakers allowed more formidable shooters like Wayne Ellington and Malik Monk, instead choosing to bring in sporting guards Looney Walker IV and Dennis Schroeder, both known for their ocean prowess.

It's not that the Lakers are in a deep recession. If someone put a tap dance shoe on a flamingo, one wouldn't say that a flamingo was struggling to be Fred Astaire. It's - as LeBron James actually pointed out after Tuesday night's defeat to Golden State - the Lakers don't have many good bowlers. They were not built for this.
