Next 3
@OKC without SGA
MIN (Russell probably back)
GSW without Curry and Wiggins

Should win all 3

Need to win all 3 but probably lose to OKC.

OKC is really good and their offense is hard to defend since it's quite random.

[ardee]

Davis was good against the Grizzlies. I think if he has another 30+/15+ game in him they should win against OKC minus SGA even without Russell.

Even without LeBron and Russell, this Lakers squad losing to OKC sans SGA is unacceptable.

I think people underestimate OKC, I find them more dangerous than MIN or GSW

I get it; they play hard, well-coached, little to lose. But without SGA? There's no way this Lakers squad losing to them is justifiable, particularly given the Lakers' situation right now.

AD out tonight. Soft as charmin toilet paper

[Mos_Heat]

Disappointing, but understandable. Only 2 games back from the 8th seed, no need to push it to the limit

[dcstanley]

should have rested him against the grizzlies. this game is far more important.

It's absolutely not understandable. They're fighting for playoff contention with the odds against him, and he's resting when LeBron's out? Heck, LeBron was playing B2Bs when AD was out.

Ridiculous man.

[zimpy27]

Why play against Memphis though?

So dumb. Sit against Memphis and play against OKC

[zimpy27]

Oh well I had Lakers losing against Memphis and OKC. But I had them beating Minnesota and GSW.

They will go 4-3 since all star break which is all they needed to do to line up for the final easy 16 games where they should go 11-5

He had a stress reaction in his leg just 2 months ago

AD out tonight. Soft as charmin toilet paper

I've used charmin on back to back days

If they knew that a back to back was going to be difficult for him, he should’ve rested him versus Memphis, he gets an extra day of rest, and then he comes out strong against OKC, which is a more important game

[thebigbird]

AD is soft. You’d expect your 29 year old star to be able to pick up the load when your 38 year old superstar goes down with injury, but AD is even less durable. He lost any semblance of fire that he had when the Lakers won the title in 2020. Dude has been cashing checks and going through the motions ever since. He has spurts every now and then but then he gets hurt and reverts back to looking wholly uninterested.

Correct, and this is like, worst case scenario.

I guess he thought he could do it and was wrong?

Or he cared more.about the TNT game yesterday?

[nzahir]

Who is watching tonight?

I tuned in a few min ago

Looks like Bamba is doing well

Rui with some nice plays in this 4th

Very dissapointed in AD

Cant have Bron paired with an injur prone star at this point....maybe 1 needs to go

[IG2]

About to pick up a very important win without 3 starters. Can you imagine this team pre-trade without 3 starters

Can't say enough about Reaves. Some guys are just winners.

[RRR3]

If LeBron could stay healthy he definitely would get this current team to the playoffs. Such a shame.
