Why the Rockets Believe Ayton Could Be Their Game-Changing Secret Weapon Over Capela
The Lakers are 42-25 with a 19-13 road record this season. They seem to be doing most things right even though they are getting a lot of flak for certain things. The complainers will say Luka Doncic is not as good as people make him out to be (they are wrong). They will say Austin Reaves is not quite as good as stats show (they probably are wrong). And, they will say it is time for LeBron to retire (he is still playing at a high level). The bottom line here is that people just like to complain, and when you have a marquee franchise, you’re going to get a ton of complaints. To be clear, the Lakers do have some problems. DeAndre Ayton is this year’s scapegoat, but I think there is some justification here. When Ayton is at his best, he is putting up double-doubles and scoring around 20 points per game. When he isn’t, he is essentially seven feet of uselessness. Underdog NBA tweeted something out last week saying that the Lakers are 28-4 when Ayton has at least 10 points and 10 rebounds. Seems pretty significant, no?Â
