Ingram and Lonzo have been cursed. That's one of the weird angles of the AD trade. Other than Hart, everyone involved in the trade -- including Davis -- has missed tons of time due to injuries. |
They represent the upcoming cohort of players that are not recovering the right way due to too much basketball and overtraining in their youth. ESPN did an interesting piece about how young players bodies are graveyards by the time they enter the NBA. I can't help but think this was the case for Zo. Paradoxically, Randle and Zu have been the most durable ex-Lakers. Zu's durability is surprising for a 7 foot, lumbering big, but I suppose he had the benefit of not falling into the AAU trap in Croatia and playing basketball all year round. Randle broke his foot in his very first NBA game, but it allowed him to get a year off and address his deficiencies. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Glad both of them are thriving. |

| I think our matchups with the warriors might be a little easier with Curry out. |

Like our matchup with the Kings missing Sabonis? I can never expect this team to take advantage of the situation. |

| Grizzles are the new Suns. Unlikeable and always pretending like they've won something. |

Hopefully the cp3 trade leak hurts the suns even more.
And GS will probably drop cuz of the Curry injury.
Lakers just need to win some games. Freaking Ham.

It took a lot of luck. Lakers were up 2-1 before AD went down. Then they played the Nuggets without Murray and MPJ. In the 3rd round, it was the Clippers without Kawhi. They would have been toast if they played those teams at full strength. |

Right now: Cam Thomas has 36 points on 17 shots in 27 minutes. |
Nets might've found their Kyrie replacement in Cam Thomas. |

So much of it is self created, off the dribble stuff too. Wild

They sure look easy to beat tonight... Warriors system won't allow them to drop. They will stay afloat until Curry comes back. |

Are you sure they are like the Jazz and not the Kings from the early 2000’s? |

I think they need defenders more than scorers. They have a lot of scorers. |

Meanwhile the Lakers NOT missing either of their 2 stars will probably need a comeback or blow a lead en route to a dicey win tonight or an L…to the same opponent that just lost to the curry-less GS. |

| Would be nice for Phoenix, New Orleans, Minnesota, and of course, Oklahoma City to lose tonight. Optimal night for the Lakers in regards to the playoff push. |

| Wolves might be the worst franchise. I know their fans are sick and tired. 9th seed and now have Conley and gobert? I’ll be surprised if they make the playoffs this season. |
