I'm enjoying the post Lebron era.

Once lbj comes back the pace will slow down and we will end up in the half-court more often. We will stop trying to dump it into Davis. Players will shrink and watch lebron Chuck 3’s. Smh

Even after the 5 game loss, I said we're not too far from what I thought we'd be, and I wouldn't panic unless we lost to DET/SAN. We beat them. AD is dominating. I think the potential of this team if AD plays this well is .500/play in. Unfortunately, I don't think we're too much better than that.

16 of next 22 on the road. IF we can go 11-11 in that stretch, we're going to have a great shot at the play ins, as after that the rest of the RS is more home heavy.

There's no way a team with AD, Lebron. WB off the bench, should be less than .500 if they are healthy. So far AD has been healthy, Lebron should give us 60sh games, and WB will be WB. If AD keeps this up all season, I can see us get into the play ins. I don't think we have the supporting cast to be better than that, unfortunately.

Utah will likely fall out of the top spot, so we’re really only 4.5 games behind the wester conference leader.

This Lakers team is second to worse in the western conference and the worst in the pacific.

Sacramento has the third best record in the packed west.

I'm with you on that assessment...it's the main reason I would support a roster upgrade so that the team could potentially move up the ladder.

I see the team currently as a .500 play-in;
I see the Bev/Nunn/FRP for Turner deal moving the team to 5 or 6 seed;
I see the team as a top 4 team in the West that competes for a championship if they do both a Charlotte deal (WB for Hayward/Rozier) and a Indiana deal;

This 9 competes:
Turner/Bryant
AD (LBJ/Turner)
LBJ/Reeves
Hayward/Walker
Rozier/Schroeder

Plus these deep reserves:
Gabriel/TBjr/Christie

Don't play these till garbage time:
Jones/JTA/Ryan
