Embiid is suspended and will miss the Lakers! The Lakers are averaging points per game off the bench, the league's bottom-to-bottom

Well-known journalist Shams reported today that Embiid was suspended for three games due to an altercation and shoping with a columnist in the locker room, missing games against the Clippers, Lakers and Hornets, and will play the Knicks as soon as November 13.

Embiid hasn't played a game this season, and to be honest, it's the first time I've seen someone play -3 in a season. So to beat the Lakers, Embiid can't play.

The 76ers currently have a 1-5 team record and are in second to last in the East. Only better than the Bucks. The latter has lost 6 in a row and is at the bottom of the table. After Rivers took over, the Bucks had an 18-25 record. Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham has a 19-24 record in his first 43 games with the Lakers in 2022-23.

Both the 76ers and the Bucks are in dire straits.

The Lakers are not.

Although the Lakers currently have a 4-3 record and a win rate of more than 50%, they have exposed too many problems.

For example, the Lakers' bench scoring ability ranks first in the league, averaging only 18.9 points per game. The Warriors' bench average of 60.9 points per game ranks first in the league, and the difference between the two is 42 points. That pretty much means that if the Lakers want to beat the Warriors, they'll have to score 42 more points than the Warriors.

However, the Lakers' starting lineup is still relatively strong.

He averaged 97.3 points per game, ranked first in the league
He averaged 34.1 goals per game, which ranks third in the league
Tied for first place with 71.0 shots per game
He shot 48.1 percent from the field, 11th in the league
He shot 37.9% from three-point range, 8th in the league
Averages 25.9% of free throws per game, ranking first in the league
He averaged 32.3 rebounds per game, fourth in the league
He averaged 25.9 defensive rebounds per game, second in the league
He averaged 23.3 assists per game, which ranked first in the league
Plus or minus per game +0.5, 12th in the league
Offensive efficiency per game is 85.5, 5th in the league

The only downside is that the starting lineup's defensive efficiency of 85.2 is second from the bottom.

Defense is the biggest problem for the Lakers as a whole, and there is also outside projection, which is miserable. After seven games, the Lakers ranked 6th in the league in offensive efficiency of 115.2, 25th in defensive efficiency of 117.6, and averaged only 10.4 three-point shots per game, the lowest in the league.

Bushy Mei almost injured yesterday and he had a problem with his ankle. After the game, he said he had been dealing with an ankle problem since the summer and that his ankle was in that "lethal" position.

Regarding the Lakers' form, Bushy Eyebrows said: "Now we are just two different teams. One game we were one of the better teams in the league, and the next we were a team that I didn't even know who I was. ”

Thick Eyebrows was slightly frustrated, and I heard that Russell and Thick Eyebrows had a heated argument on the bench during the game. No wonder the atmosphere in the dressing room after the game was a little weird.

Since the start of the game, the thick eyebrows have been in full shape, and almost every game has been an explosive performance. He also leads the league scoring list with an average of 32.6 points per game.

However, in the fiery state of thick eyebrows, there is a hidden crisis. The worst thing is that he doesn't have a suitable partner or substitute, and he has to play at full strength every game, and the risk of injury will get higher and higher. It is impossible for the management not to see this, perhaps still patient, or still waiting.

Management has said that the Lakers need to test their current roster with 30 games. Maybe after 30 games, we will see one trade after another. However, what can be done at the moment is to try to play every game well, only winning is a habit, the more you win, the more confident the players, the more mature the system will be, and the better the team atmosphere.

Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, the Lakers' final game of a five-game road streak will be against the Grizzlies, who are ranked 10th in the West. ESPN gives the Lakers a win rate of 46.6%.
