A quick look at the LA funk (alien.top)

The season is still young, but the LA teams are struggling, with both the Clippers and Lakers losing their 3rd straight games (fourth straight on the road). Without overreacting, which LA team has bigger problems at this point?

The Clippers are going through player adjustments and Ty Lue has pointed to stagnant offense because the superstar quartet can't figure out what to do with each other. Imo that's easier to figure than what the Lakers face - the supposedly deep roster hasn't worked, Reaves' struggle was especially unexpected, and the team repeatedly falls flat without Lebron. Both have been mid defensively.

BUT, the Lakers had one hell of a turnaround last season.... so yea, I'm not ruling either out, just wanna look at the problems they face atm.

Lakers are playing Christian Wood 23.5 minutes a game. I don't care what kind of smoke and mirrors bullshit may emanate around that dude but he plays losing basketball and teams that play him will lose. It's nothing personal, and I can't explain it, it just is.
