The Los Angeles Lakers have played two games in the bubble and have scored 103 and 92 points for a 1-1 start. That level of scoring might be great for the early 2000s, back when we were just learning about life with the internet, but that doesn’t cut it anymore.
The losses of Rajon Rondo (injury) and Avery Bradley (opt-out) appear to be hurting the Lakers’ offense, and LeBron James, a 35-year-old in his 17th NBA season, hasn’t looked the same in the restart.
