Yep, that has been the key to this. First time they have had these many games together to start a season since 19-20. We have never had them this healthy, since 19-20. For all the complains about other guys, if AD/Bron are this healthy, you have a chance each night.

There must have been some miracle curing in the offseason, they have only missed one game and PG and Kawhi haven’t missed any. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Shouldn't we be something like 30-9 or something instead of 19-20? The fact Jeanie remains fully supportive of Ham speaks volume about her ability to read people in general.
The last time Bron and AD were this healthy we won a championship under a different coach. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024

Yeah, we were 42-30 (the same as 47.8 wins in an 82 game season) in the post-championship season, even with AD and LeBron missing so many games. AD with the Achilles strain, and LeBron after getting Solomon Hilled. Now we have a record worse than that with both healthy. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

The fact that they have been healthy and we are this bad shows how bad the coaching and roster construction truly is. It can only go downhill from here if they start to miss time.

There's also something to be said for the slow leak of talent over the years - where FRP's and worthwhile assets were either let go or merrily handed out like candy for questionable/quick fixes - that's coming to roost. Perhaps the attempted reversal at last year's trade deadline came too little too late.

That's kinda true. I wonder if Pelinka had acted quicker in getting rid of Westbrick, Vogel would have gotten a chance to coach a Brickless team like this. Things might have been very different.
It's interesting how these decisions from the FO could have such a profound impact. For instance, if Jeanie decided to replace Ham with Phil Handy, we could end up winning a championship this season. It's wild! _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024

I got AD for $47 in an auction league ($200 budget) and he’s been the #3 player over the course of this season (categories league). Huge discount based on the perception that he would miss a lot of games. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
