Anthony Davis Speaks Out On Lakers Late Collapse Vs Pacers

On Monday night, the LA Lakers blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter to lose on a buzzer-beater three by the Pacers. There was plenty of blame to go around after the game and head coach Darvin Ham was quick to take it for the Lakers collapse in the fourth. He said the results fall on him to make the adjustments the team needs late in the game. One Lakers superstar spoke out after the game about the loss.
Lakers star Anthony Davis didn’t think all the blame was to be had for his coach. Davis spoke about how it’s the players who make the plays and the coaches will put them in the right position to do so. They lost 116-115 to the Pacers last night.
NBA betting sites have the Lakers at (+6600) to win the Finals this season.

Anthony Davis sounds off after Lakers late game collapse
Head coach Darvin Ham was quick to take the blame for the Lakers bad loss, and that’s something a good coach does even when it’s not his fault completely.
” I wish we would have been a lot more aggressive, continue playing with pace and also continue to be organized and move the ball. And that falls on me. That falls on me. I’ll take responsibility for that…I have to do a better job of keeping us organized during those stretches offensively.” – Darvin Ham
But Lakers star PF Anthony Davis was quick to say that the blame is on the players more than anything. He told reporters that their team is too experienced to be losing games like that in the fourth quarter.
“It’s not just on him. It’s on us too,” … “I mean, we got enough years in the league for the guys that were on the floor late game to execute. Obviously, he’s a coach, you take the blame. But it’s on us players to go out there and execute.” – Anthony Davis
The Lakers are 7-12 so far this season and are fifth in the Pacific Conference. Their next game is tomorrow vs the Trial Blazers at 10:30pm.

“We’ve been teetering on either side of .500 for a very long time. I’m kind of sick of it at this point,” Stephen Curry said. “[We’ve] got to figure out how to keep moving in the right direction and stack wins no matter how we can get them.”
Golden State’s bench outscored the Raptors 39-26. Jonathan Kuminga led the second unit in scoring with 15 points. And Donte DiVincenzo contributed 12 points and a career-high 11 assists.

Lakers interested in trading for Bulls guard Zach LaVine?

The Los Angeles Lakers are interested in trading for Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, according to sources. However, it is unknown whether or not Lakers G.M. Rob Pelinka will negotiate a deal for the two-time All-Star prior to the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
Of course, LaVine could be one of the team’s offseason targets. “The name that’s become more interesting to me as this season has gone on and it’s become clearer and clearer that the Bulls are not going to get it together is LaVine,” said ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
Per multiple NBA betting sites, the Lakers have 10th-best odds to win the championship. A few sportsbooks are giving the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies greater odds.

“I know there has been some thought about with people around the Lakers as a potential trade slash ‘that’s kind of our cap space acquisition,’” Lowe said of LaVine.
In July, the UCLA product signed a five-year, $215.16 million contract extension with the Bulls. LaVine ‘s deal includes a 15% trade bonus and a $48,967,380 player option for the 2026-27 season.
Lakers could pursue Bulls guard Zach LaVine before the Feb. 9 trade deadline or this offseason
If the Lakers pursue LaVine over the next couple of weeks, their trade package will probably not be ideal to impress the Bulls. Los Angeles has only two first-round draft picks (2027, 2029) for the rest of the decade. It would be absurd for Pelinka to surrender both first-rounders and a superstar for LaVine.
Last week, the Lakers traded Kendrick Nunn, a 2023 second-round draft pick, a 2028 second-rounder, and a 2029 second-rounder to the Washington Wizards for Rui Hachimura.
For Chicago to give up LaVine, the front office would demand either Russell Westbrook or Anthony Davis in return. The Lakers won the 2020 NBA Finals on the backs of Davis and LeBron James. Though, the four-time All-NBA member has struggled to stay healthy these past three years.
Zach Lowe’s trade idea during the most recent episode of his podcast
Lakers get:
⁃ Zach Lavine
Bulls get:
⁃ Russell Westbrook
⁃ two 1st round draft picks (“one unprotected and the second one has the most limited possible protections that’s allowable under NBA rules”)— The Lakers Review (@TheLakersReview) January 25, 2023
Beyond the halfway mark this season, Davis has made only 26 appearances. The 11-year veteran is dealing with a fractured bone spur and a right foot stress reaction. Davis played just 40 games last season as well. Lakers coach Darvin Ham is having Westbrook come off the bench this season, and at least Westbrook is consistently healthy.
The same cannot be said about Davis. While the Lakers center is a more dominant rebounder than LaVine, the Bulls guard is a better outside shooter. Through 44 starts this season, LaVine is averaging 23.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. Plus, he’s shooting 45.8% from the field and 37.3% outside the arc.
