In the turmoil on the floors, the Lakers are clearly not at their best for this 2021-22 season. And that begins to be felt at the level of their status… The last Power Ranking of the NBA is indeed the equivalent of a slap in the face for the Crimson and Gold!
Times are tough for the Lakers, who just can’t get off the ground despite a five-star squad. More recently, it was the Bulls who literally stepped on them in a one-sided game (121-103, summary here). As a result, they are still only seventh in the West, which equates to another participation in the Play-In-Tournament. We are far from the title ambitions displayed during the summer …
Bad news rarely arriving alone, the Purple and Gold also see their rating drop with the league, not really convinced by what they offer since the return of competition. The best way to realize this is the Power Ranking, regularly updated ranking of teams by the NBA. The news broke recently: still present in the last update, Los Angeles is now out of the Top 10.
