The Los Angeles Lakers have gone 1-5 since LeBron James and Rajon Rondo went down with injuries in the team’s Christmas Day win over the Golden State Warriors, and fans of the team are (understandably) not happy.
That lack of happiness has led to nearly endless criticism of Lakers head coach Luke Walton over that time frame, and countless calls for his job. But no matter how lifeless and inept the team has mostly looked for the last week since losing James and Rondo (and later, Kyle Kuzma), asking for Walton’s head would seem to be premature.
