'What more can LeBron do?' - Shannon on Lakers' failed comeback vs. Nets I NBA | UNDISPUTED

The Los Angeles Lakers were down by as many as 23 points to the Brooklyn Nets on Christmas Day before storming back to tie in the final minute of the fourth quarter. However, the Nets then stepped on the gas with a big alley-oop over LeBron James that kicked off seven straight points to escape with a 122-115 win, giving the purple and gold their fifth straight loss. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss the biggest reason the Lakers could not finish off the comeback.

I believe this but you gotta admit that most, not all but MOST of the problems are on Westbrook. In the game with the Nets, there were multiple times he TO'ed due to questionable drives or pass and allowing Mills to score freely due to not defending. But just as you said, the Lakers as a whole are playing bad whether it be the lack of synergy in defense or the horrendous amount of TO's.

After watching Russ Westbrook on the Post Game interview, I must honestly say that the Lakers' issues are way beyond just Russ. Yes, he's turning over the ball, and yes he misses almost sure shots and the open man at times. What is anyone besides Russ and LeBron doing to really make a difference in the right direction? A.D. checked out since last year. That's obvious and a fact I strongly now feel that Russ is more of a scapegoat at this point in time than anything else. Shannon said it. They're just a bad team. Despite Russ' shortcomings, something went terribly wrong this season. They need a real down to earth team meeting with everyone, even ownership, and everyone needs to take accountability, if in fact they being true to themselves admit they also haven't done enough to get this going.
