I highly doubt lebron plays tomorrow, he is far from 100% or even 70%


That's terrible news. He's playing like he isn't 100%. I don't think we get out of the 2nd round if Leron wasn't playing at 100% like an MVP. Can't count on DS or AD to miraculously carry the load.


Yup we are in big trouble

Don’t even risk Lebron or Bambi tomorrow. Not when the effort and focus isn’t there.

take a deep breath, close your eyes, remember this, Lakers last year after a long break looked like crap early in the bubble. We all know what followed.

Sure things look bleak at the moment for us while other contenders are looking great. It's a marathon and even the team said they will use the last stretch of games as practice for the playoffs, obviously while ensuring they actually make the playoffs.

This is all the positivity I can muster for now, see you guys when the playoffs start

Oh look Marc – who was available to play – just hugged his friend Kyle Lowry.

I wonder why Marc didn’t play today.

I don’t know man, we are in serious danger of going into the play-in.

I mean maybe that’s the plan at this point to buy more time for Lebron to ramp up.

Sit Lebron
Sit Davis


If Davis isn't hurt, I would give him as many minutes as possible to get back into game shape cuz he simply sucks. He isn't like Lebron who could just turn it up in the playoffs. Davis needs to show us something. He's got enough rest. He doesn't need anymore of it.

I said it before, but we may just need to accept that it isn’t our year and sit LBJ and AD until next year. Not worth getting them hurt for (what looks like) a lost season.

Something tells me that even LBJ senses it is over and may take the rest of the season off so his reputation doesn’t take a hit if we somehow make and lose the play-in.

Basically just posted this reality as well.
A ton of obstacles to overcome to repeat this season.

Not throwing away next season is still salvageable

That’s just embarrassing that this is where we’ve fallen to.

Resting up for Jokic.

Lakers looked like crap because they locked up the top west seed and stopped trying to win. They’re struggling to stay out of the play in games right now. The two situations are t even close.

8th seed has to play an extra game or two. Not guaranteed a playoff spot. Those games are gonna be like game 7 so anything could happen.

Yeah, that’s fine, if we can’t beat the 8th place team or 9/10th, a vacation would be nice

That would be idiotic. To get the 8 seed, you need to lose the game between 7 and 8 and then win against the winner of the game between the 9 and 10 seeds. Would you want to put everything down to one game against possibly Steph Curry and risk him going absolutely nuclear against our TERRIBLE perimeter defense for one game?

What’s funny is this was a matchup of the last two champions. Both either out of the playoffs or barely in them.
