Once the Lakers fell below, LeBron James sent out a mysterious hourglass-shaped tweet.500, but the Hawks beat them.

The back-to-back games the Los Angeles Lakers played to start the week went about as badly as they could have.

LeBron James or the Lakers are now 24-25 after losing by 16 points to the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks.

In the second game, Anthony Davis was out with a groin injury, so James and the Lakers are not where they thought they were just over the first half of the season.

As the season has gone on, they’ve had injuries, bad rotations, and other reasons to give up. The back-to-back games the Los Angeles Lakers played to start the week went just as badly as they could have.

A team is just what it is at some point, though. Earlier in the season, James was one of the loudest people to say that the team couldn’t be judged. He may now be realizing that.

Earlier in the season, James was one of the loudest people to say that the team couldn’t be judged. He may now be realizing that.

This is the primary time James has said that the Lakers might not be very good. For a long time, injuries were a problem, but lately, they haven’t been as bad.

And while rotations that weren’t consistently used to be a problem, they’ve been getting better lately, but the losses are still adding up.

Someone on the Lakers team may have kept a controversial quote from getting out, but you can feel James’ anger.

The hourglass might be a sign that the Lakers need to make a trade because they are rapidly running out of time to get better.

The Los Angeles Lakers are once again going downhill. They had a short stretch where they won five of seven games, but then they lost two straight games to the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks, who they probably should have beaten easily.

Even worse, the team’s defense, which wasn’t too bad for most of the season, is now a major flaw.

Houston scored 135 points against them, and Atlanta scored 138. Their defense in transition and on the boards was also very bad.

They have a 24–25 record now, and there isn’t much time left for them to go on a long run like they did at the end of last season.

Or James is telling the Lakers that his time with them is coming to an end because he will be an independent player after the season.

Gasol started his career in Spain, where he played for FC Barcelona and CB Girona. But the Lakers picked him up with the 48th pick in the 2007 draft. Later, he played another season in Madrid.

Before he joined the Lakers, he was traded to Memphis as part of the deal that brought his sibling Pau Gasol to the team.

Gasol played for the Grizzlies for ten years and was a key part of some of Memphis’s best teams ever. He was named an All-Star three times and won the award for Defensive Player of the Year in 2013.

Gasol was traded from Memphis to Toronto in the middle of the 2018–19 season. The 2019 championship banner for Toronto would not have been there without him.

He brought defense in the paint and the ability to pass, which helped Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, and the rest of the team.

He is a legend in Spanish basketball. Along with his brother Pau, he was part of a great team that won two FIBA World Championships (in 2006 and 2019) and the EuroBasket 2009 gold medal. He also won two silver medals at the Olympics in 2008 and 2012.

Hawks fans were yelling obscenities at D’Angelo Russell in the stadium, and Christian Wood may have hit head coach Darvin Ham with a passive-aggressive tweet less than an hour before the game started when he found out that Jaxson Hayes would be starting at center.
