I have zero faith in anyone on this team 'Carrying' us if AD doesn't play... I know Caruso will defend hard, I know Drummond will grab some rebounds and try in the paint, I know LeBron will get assists and at least 20pts... But that's not going to get it done.

We need at least 3 guys with 20pts, and at least 2 other guys in double digits, along with a bunch of key points from others... We need smarter D on the perimeter and especially inside... No plays off for LeBron... We're going to need Schroder to have a big game. We're going to need another solid game from Marc, and Dummond to play big inside... We're going to need KCP, Caruso, Kuz, Mathews, and McLemore to hit around 40% from 3... And we're going to need to create a ton of turnovers, without turning the ball over ourselves.

Basically, without AD, we need a complete team win... When's the last time we saw that?

So I can't really get hyped about this one... Just going to watch, see what happens and if they play well in the first half, maybe I'll get wound up in the 3rd... But no expectations at all, at this point.
Still can't really get my head around how bad we looked last game to be honest... I never thought I'd see that from a Lakers team, led by LeBron, in the playoffs, against freaking Phoenix...

Sad that our fanbase has faith, but our "starting PG" checked out. He even changed his IG and Twitter like a little girl. I was right about this egomaniac dumbass...

Your dumbass GM should've traded for Lowry and got rid of this passive and disinterested player. I don't even think Schroeder even likes to play basketball or even remotely passionate about the sport as his first love was always soccer.
