If the opposing team is dealing with injuries the lakers win doesn’t count but if the lakers are dealing with injuries and lose it doesn’t matter and it’s still held against them.
@user-lt1fx2he5s What’s the point of the coach and the other players on the team? The NBA is not 2 on 2. Also, the season is not over. I don’t know why people get so caught up on the standings when all these teams are less than 4 games apart in the standings. 4 game loosing streak and you drop from 5th seed to 9th seed.
AD is the actual key to the Lakers winning it all. If he's clicking on all cylinders, akin to Hakeem Olajuwon in the '95 postseason, I legit think they could do something special. But he's got to be on his game consistently.
People should stop thinking that the Lakers win games because of LeBron, his presence is optional, good at some games, bad at other games, the Lakers have enough to do better without LeBron taking space on the court. There are some cases in which it's better to have Bron at the court, for example, when the other team doesn't have size to battle AD and Bron, The Lakers were too big for the TWolves this time, no Rudy and no KAT, that's easy work for 2 250lb+ dudes that do better on the paint. Lebron has been playing better for the Lakers since that Boston win in which he and AD weren't on the court, he has been playing FOR the team more, they used to play FOR LeBron before that, and that's why they were under .500 and not anymore, if LeBron is gonna be on the court 36 minutes a game, he better play for the team, not backwards.
All those wins were close games that could have gone either way and Minny didn't have KAT or Gobert not to mention Minny still holds a 2-1 in the series
I don’t understand how he went from not lifting his arm up the game before to being better than ever the next. Sometimes I deadass feel like the brother is milking injuries for sympathy
