Summary

JJ Redick laid it out plainly - the Lakers have been lousy thus far on their first extended road trip of the season. As a reminder, they forgot to show up against a wildly shorthanded Hawks squad. Then they played one good half of hoops to bury a terrible (and shorthanded) Hornets team. They lost in Oklahoma City by a billion. It's not been a fun tour of the country thus far. And so the Pelicans, who will be without Jordan Poole and Zion Williamson and have only won two games this season and have the West's worst point differential, are a team they should be able to beat even without their best effort. But given how things are going, and with Milwaukee looming on Saturday, their best effort is what the Lakers nonetheless should deliver. Not just to get everyone off their feet and resting for the second night of the back to back, but because the Lakers need to get back in the habit of executing well. That's what they'll need to finish the trip strong against the Bucks. The good news is that LeBron is working his way back, going through a pair of practices with South Bay, and nearing a return with the big club. If not Tuesday night against Utah, perhaps in the team's next game, which would come five nights later against the Jazz in Salt Lake City.
