Having just Cam and DLO should be enough to get the win against Miami even if DLO doesn’t play LeBron + AD alone should be enough to help us get the win, just don’t let Herro and Robinson make like 15 3’s combined loll 🤣
With a Lakers lose against the Heat the Lakers will fall out of the play in with the Jazz lurking in the woods
It’s crazy that the Lakers are even close to the Jazz in the standings. The Jazz are terrible and have had their top scorers missing games consistently. Meanwhile the Lakers are around .500 with a healthy LeBron and AD and the only injuries each night are a backup guard and one or more of the wing players that haven’t established themselves as starters in Pockets’ rotation yet.

It’s crazy like a fox bro, I can’t imagine what the Organization is thinking right now, at the least we should be in the same conversation with teams who are within the reach of the play in… PHX/DAL/NOP but we aren’t even at there level it’s really a shame, and it pisses me off that LeBron thinks players being out of the line up due to injuries is causing the struggles when the truth is this team has no culture or winning formula

One could make the argument that the Lakers have Lebron, Davis and a bunch of bench players. It wouldn't be too out of pocket.

DLO isn’t a bench player, Reaves can start on any playoff team, DLO has the talent to play like a all star, Reaves is slightly playing better then last year, there is no reason why we should be battling for a play in spot, this is why I don’t mind shipping off LeBron, he’s taking up to much space on this roster with his high level of usage and players tend to stand around because of that, LeBron needs to request a trade

Which would be true. But I thought the biggest issue would be the health of the main two. They’ve been at near 100% and they’ve completely given away AT LEAST 5 games to shorthanded or otherwise inferior teams. If they take advantage of those and are 22-12 now vs. 17-17, they’d be in good position to withstand rest or minor injury to AD and LeBron throughout this season.

The Lakers are nowhere near the threat they used to be but they are still a trophy win for other franchises. If I were a wagering man I'd wager LGSRS will be in full effect tonight. BEAT LA!!!

Cam Reddish is available and will return to the starting lineup
Cam is actually the second best free throw shooter on the team after Austin, which doesn’t say much considering the entire team is puppy crap at the charity stripe.
Butler being out hurts Miami more, we still have 2 superstars on the team
Lakers have Ham. That's a bigger handicap than Butler being out for Miami imo. Spo is going to take Ham's lunch money. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024
