The Los Angeles Lakers' struggles this season have been well-documented. Los Angeles hasn't played consistently this season, resulting in losses to teams that they probably should have beaten. Lakers center DeAndre Jordan spoke about the team's recent struggles, dropping a brutally honest take.
DeAndre Jordan says of the Lakers: "We play the score, and not the game. … There's teams we should have beaten that we didn't beat. There's teams we could've beaten that we didn't beat." He thinks they're doing a good job of coming together, but not a good enough job for 48 min

DeAndre Jordan has a point about the Lakers. Jordan is saying that the Lakers get caught up with the score of the game rather than just focusing on what they do best as a unit.
Jordan feels that that results in the Lakers losing to teams that they really should beat, such as when they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are 8-17, twice earlier this year.
Jordan's final point might be his best. He thinks Los Angeles comes together but doesn't do it well enough for the whole game. That certainly makes sense as LA has blown plenty of leads this season when the game could have, and should have, been in their control.
Los Angeles has the talent to be so much better than what they've put on film this year- and Jordan knows it. With no shortage of veteran players, LA has the pieces in place to make Jordan's words and vision come to life.
DeAndre Jordan knows what will happen if they don't.
