Channel – Athletistic:

This year, we had more starting lineups than victories. Our goal was to win a championship. I feel like we have the pieces, but injuries got in the way of that. And that was the difference in the season. I think even though we lost games where we were all on the court, me, Bron, Russ… I think we are three great players but we would have figured it out if we had done more minutes together but we couldn’t do that which makes it difficult compete for a championship when your top three players haven’t logged enough minutes together“, he stated.

Frank GovelLakers coach, tried to comfort his players, but he didn’t hide his sadness at the result: “We are disappointed, but there was no lack of commitment. We work hard. I am extremely disappointed. We wanted to do our part to bring success to Lakers basketball and we fell short.“.

In addition to Davis and Govel, Carmelo Anthony also made an outburst about the loss of the Lakers in the NBA: “We had the tools. Some things were out of our control. Some things we could control, some we couldn’t. And it’s nothing more than what we can’t. You can’t make excuses about it. No excuses. we just can’t“.
