Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem slammed the Lakers' stars, saying the team's recent struggles aren't on coach JJ Redick but on the players themselves. LeBron James and Luka Doncic were criticized for late-game mistakes in losses to the Celtics, Magic, and Suns.
The Los Angeles Lakers have struggled to find their rhythm since the NBA resumed after All-Star Weekend. LeBron James and company entered Saturday on a three-game losing streak, with each defeat feeling more frustrating than the last.

While many critics have pointed fingers at head coach JJ Redick, former Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem believes the blame lies squarely with the players.
"What the hell are you doing? What the hell is going on? This is not on JJ. This is on the players," Haslem said on the NBA on Prime regarding Los Angeles' recent on-court issues.
Haslem specifically called out the team's stars, Luka Doncic and James, for mistakes in late-game situations.
"Your two main guys [are] making mistakes down the stretch. That can't happen if you want to be a championship team."
