Derek Fisher criticizes Lakers: ‘That’s why we have to wait to celebrate a championship’

The Lakers lost to the Chicago Bulls 124-108, their fourth loss in their last five games. The Los Angeles team has nothing to do with the team that recently became the champions of the in-season tournament. According to one of the franchise’s most important players in recent decades, the win came at a huge cost.

Derek Fisher was outspoken and asserted that winning the NBA Cup was a negative for the team because it caused the Lakers to take their foot off the gas. “I think there’s a reason we wait until the end of the season to celebrate a championship.”

Fisher’s point is correct. The Lakers probably went overboard with their celebrations, going so far as to hang up a banner of the cup title they achieved, equating that trophy to some extent with a franchise championship ring.

Fisher also talked about the offense, which is the main reason for the team’s poor performance.

“I think the Lakers have to find a way to play with more pace to make it easier for everyone to create chances. If LeBron and AD play faster, they might run out of a few balls. “But other players will have more chances to score.” “You can’t score 108 points and win in today’s NBA.”
