After an abysmal 2021-22 season, the Lakers have a new coach, new schemes and a new (and younger) supporting cast, but will any of that steer them back toward contention?
EL SEGUNDO — Tuesday will be another golden night for the Warriors. And several of the Lakers know the feeling.
“We’re motivated to get back to where we belong,” Davis said Monday after practice. “The last two seasons were not what we envisioned. It was not Lakers basketball and we know that. Not what our organization’s standard is. Our standard is to compete for championships and the last two seasons, we have not.”
It might reflect an acceptance of their station, then, that Davis seemed to adopt the mindset of an underdog as the season begins: The first two opponents are the Warriors and the Clippers, the defending champions and one of the conference favorites respectively. Ham, the tough-minded Michigan native brought in to punch up the group, has only been able to see flashes of his vision, with just five preseason quarters of James, Davis and Westbrook playing together. But if that gives him trepidation, he’s not showing it.
