The Lakers have not had a good enough record so far this season. According to Dan Woike, a reporter from Los Angeles Times, the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room is "not good". The conversation between staff and players is probably a topic similar to "only one month left", which refers to the remaining time of the regular season:
There are still many problems in the Lakers' team. They are a team that has insufficient performance on the defensive end, and the team cannot have a good enough chemical reaction in the team. It is obvious that it is difficult for the Lakers to look forward to this season, which means that what is more important to the Lakers is to make some moves in this offseason.
On the other hand, Timberwolves veteran Patrick Beverly talked about how Lakers defender Westbrook's remarks in 2019 damage his reputation in the league. Even players and coaches in the league took Westbrook's statement as a fact:
Beverly said in the statement that Westbrook did get injured because of his defense, but he was not the one who was just running around, and Westbrook's remarks have had an impact on his career reputation.
The last thing to be mentioned is that US media Nick Wright has always been the identity of James. He has repeatedly claimed that LeBron James is the greatest athlete in league history, but even Nick Wright no longer has confidence in this Lakers.
In a show, Nick Wright bluntly stated that the Lakers who lost to the Rockets were "completed" this season:
As of now, the Lakers really have no momentum to reverse the season, and if they can't play well enough, this Lakers may even miss the playoffs, not to mention there will be a chance to compete for the championship.
