I highly doubt lebron plays tomorrow, he is far from 100% or even 70%
That's terrible news. He's playing like he isn't 100%. I don't think we get out of the 2nd round if Leron wasn't playing at 100% like an MVP. Can't count on DS or AD to miraculously carry the load.
take a deep breath, close your eyes, remember this, Lakers last year after a long break looked like crap early in the bubble. We all know what followed.
Sure things look bleak at the moment for us while other contenders are looking great. It's a marathon and even the team said they will use the last stretch of games as practice for the playoffs, obviously while ensuring they actually make the playoffs.
This is all the positivity I can muster for now, see you guys when the playoffs start
If Davis isn't hurt, I would give him as many minutes as possible to get back into game shape cuz he simply sucks. He isn't like Lebron who could just turn it up in the playoffs. Davis needs to show us something. He's got enough rest. He doesn't need anymore of it. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024
I said it before, but we may just need to accept that it isn’t our year and sit LBJ and AD until next year. Not worth getting them hurt for (what looks like) a lost season.
Something tells me that even LBJ senses it is over and may take the rest of the season off so his reputation doesn’t take a hit if we somehow make and lose the play-in.

Basically just posted this reality as well.
A ton of obstacles to overcome to repeat this season.
Not throwing away next season is still salvageable

Lakers looked like crap because they locked up the top west seed and stopped trying to win. They’re struggling to stay out of the play in games right now. The two situations are t even close.

Maybe they want to 8th seed so they can face Utah whom they should beat *shrug*
8th seed has to play an extra game or two. Not guaranteed a playoff spot. Those games are gonna be like game 7 so anything could happen. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024

That would be idiotic. To get the 8 seed, you need to lose the game between 7 and 8 and then win against the winner of the game between the 9 and 10 seeds. Would you want to put everything down to one game against possibly Steph Curry and risk him going absolutely nuclear against our TERRIBLE perimeter defense for one game?

What’s funny is this was a matchup of the last two champions. Both either out of the playoffs or barely in them. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
