The Lakers rank last in six key starting lineup statistics! Reddick has repeatedly criticized the team's attitude but has never taken responsibility himself.

On December 27th, Beijing time, the Lakers might have to rethink their starting lineup. The data indicates that the Lakers' usual starting five are last in the league across six key statistics. Analyst Perkins mentioned that coach Reddick has often publicly criticized the team's attitude but never taken accountability himself.

The data reveals that the Lakers' regular starters (James, Doncic, Reeves, Hachimura, and Ayton) have an offensive efficiency of 103.2 this season, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.1%, a defensive efficiency of 123.1, opponents' shooting percentage of 52.4%, opponents' three-point shooting at 39.7%, and a points lost per 100 possessions of 19.9 — all six metrics rank at the very bottom of the league.

On his latest show, Perkins stated: “I’m not saying the Lakers have to win every game, but this is already the fifth or sixth time this season that Reddick has publicly criticized the team for mistakes in details and a lack of effort. This is abnormal and very disappointing. Why do I say Reddick needs to reflect on himself? Because a coach who repeatedly blames his team publicly during a season loses credibility. We have never seen Reddick admit fault by saying ‘this is my fault.’”

“What I want to say is that the root cause lies in his failure to truly control the locker room. If the players were willing to listen to him, we wouldn’t be discussing these issues now. I always believed that even if a team’s roster isn’t complete, they should at least give their all, especially on defense. But the current Lakers can’t even manage that.”

The Lakers have currently suffered a three-game losing streak and hold a 19-10 record, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. What adjustments will they make? Let’s wait and see.
