Kendrick Perkins blasts Lakers after NBA Cup loss

The LA Lakers have looked the best version of themselves for the first time in the last few years. However, the NBA Cup quarterfinal loss to Victor Wembanyama-less San Antonio Spurs exposed them, especially on the defensive end.

Kendrick Perkins sounded alarmed for the Purple & Gold, calling for a quick fix before it was too late.

"The Lakers got exposed defensively last night. That's what they did. They exposed [them] defensively by attacking them. [They] acan't stop cars at a crosswalk in a school zone. That's how horrible they are on the defensive side of things," Perkins said.
"The word is out. We saw it last night. It was highlighted, especially on the stage when you talk about the in-season tournament and everyone's watching."

The voices coming from the Lakers camp were similar. Both LeBron James and coach JJ Redick voiced their disappointment over the team's defensive play. Compared to their offense [7th in the league in offensive ratings], LA is ranked 21st in the defensive ratings.

LA has a legitimate shot at the title this season [yes, despite an almost unbeatable OKC Thunder team]. However, the proposition is only valid if they can fix their defense, and it needs fixing now.
