After their latest loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Lakers are now 15-21 through the first 36 games of the season and are looking for a solution fast.
According to an ESPN.com report, head coach Mike D'Antoni gave his players some blunt advice to keep in mind for the rest of the season.
"I told the team that the biggest thing is that our season starts Sunday," coach Mike D'Antoni said, referring to the Lakers' home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. "We put ourselves in this ditch and we are the only ones that can get ourselves out."
It seems since D'Antoni's arrival he's been searching for answers, but has been unable to get anything working on a consistent basis, and now they're looking at the very real possibility that they will miss the postseason entirely for the first time since 2005.
n Sunday the Lakers will take on the Cavaliers, a team that defeated the Lakers 100-94 back on Dec. 11th in Cleveland. After that they'll take on the Milwaukee Bucks for the first time this season, followed by a matchup with the defending NBA champions - the Miami Heat.
Unless the team gets their act together soon, the team's star studded team can be broken up just as quickly as it was formed.
