The Los Angeles Lakers have lost three in a row, two of them coming with both Luka Doncic<\/a> and LeBron James<\/a> in the lineup. Despite having a clear injury list, the Lakers are on a downward spiral and might be in danger of losing home-court advantage in the first round. Luka knows who is to blame and who can take them out of the rough stretch. After the loss to the Orlando Magic, he pointed fingers at who could right this ship.<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic Gets Real on Lakers Rough Stretch<\/h2>\n

Asked after the loss to the Orlando Magic who should take responsibility, the Lakers star player was quick to note. It is him and LeBron, and there is no running away from blame and responsibility. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI think me and Bron, think we should be the guys to do that. That’s on me. Obviously, I’ve got to do better, I’ve got to talk more. I talked in the first half, then just kind of [let my] voice down and I shouldn’t do that.”<\/p>\n

Later in the post-game interview, Doncic talked about how the Lakers have let their foot off the gas, saying,<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we just got a little bit satisfied. We can\u2019t afford that right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
