This is the AD we've been waiting for.

Without LeBron, Schroder and Kuzma. Please give me the 7th seed.

Seriously. Unless Dallas and Portland lose in the next 48 hours before the Knicks game, I wouldn't play him. Save him and LeBron for the next night against Houston (banner night).

We have playoff Caruso, playoff KCP and playoff AD now... Maybe playoff Marc... Looking pretty good.

I’m feeling really good about what I saw tonight.
This was without LBJ, Kuz, and Schroeder

Okay, we starting to show something. We not on all cylinders since Bron is out. But we are showing glimpses. Weve got to build up to it. Get that synchronicity goin. And the league will be full of fear when we show up on the court

We have to tank to the Play in. The Flippers are 3rd and I don't want the drama of a first round versus that team this 7th seed feels good.

Good win.

Davis looking good.

I’m starting to feel Marc/Harrell combo compliments a 100%-aggressive AD better than Drummond.

AD s best offensive and defensive numbers this year have been with Marc, Kuzma, and Morris in that order. Tree and Drummond are below that. There is no where for AD to go with Drummond down there. The paint is clogged with his man, Drummond, and Drummonds man. And it’s not the same as Dwight or Javale because Drummond has a wide body compared to them and doesn’t get vertical like them. Asking AD to go and live in the paint there with Drummond is stupid. It becomes even more complicated when Bron and Dennis both have driving lanes and can’t drive.

I would still have picked up Drummond. It’s an asset in a war chest and it stopped Brooklyn or Miami or someone like that from getting another piece. But in the playoffs no one is telling me you’re playing Drummond over Marc or Morris or Kuzma. It’s like saying let me play JR or Waiters over Danny Green. It’s just not what you do to win a 7 game series based off matchups and adjustments.

I think Trez can be the equivalent of Dwight and be used as a specific matchup in the playoffs. But I also think Drummonds ceiling is Javale, which is one round and cheer lead at best.

Two types of logic here. The lakers would have won like 5 or 6 of their last games and be hot to get 6. Bron and AD, as well as KCP, Kuzma, Caruso, Marc, and Dennis get a week off for their bodies. Frank and Lebron get a week to study and pick tape a part on the clippers. You spend 3 weeks not traveling at all and have your own home crowd, beds to sleep in, practice facility, trainers, and everything to keep you fresh. They could essentially not leave LA for close to a month, be healthy, get on a role, and send kasha out of town if they drew 6.

I mean Suns are an easier out but if you catch the clippers in round 1 and push them up against a wall Playoff P go come out :lol:

because they would have built no playoff confidence up at all

To be honest if I’m Utah I want the Warriors less than the Lakers. Watching the way Murray did them last year, Steph is going to pick them apart. I’m also calling Draymond magically finding his game too when he can film room, adjust, and playoff one team for a week and giving Gobert bigger fits than people thought.

They worked all year in Phoenix and Utah to get a non-filled arena and a red hot Steph Curry or healthy Bron and AD to come to town.

This rotation of our bigs and AD has got.to get figured out by Vogel. But I can give him some leeway due to not having everyone together to see where what fits. But hey, its the job description. Only a couple more games left. Hes gotta piece it together.
One thing for me, I like that new shooter we got

Whats incredible is that we might actually go Clippers straight away in the 1st round

Good win.Why can't we always play with this kind of energy ? We wouldn't have to play in the play-ins.

I know it's not going to happen. But when he came back Schröder should play of the bench. I prefer this lineup with Bron as a PG and Caruso or West with Kcp and Dennis as a backup PG.
