You'll be chewing off your fingernails if the Clippers can make it to the Lakers in the WCF. Unless of course, we take you out earlier. Nothing against your boy Kawhi, but when your number two option is Backboard George, and ours is Anthony Davis, the writing is on the wall.

If drummond plays even half as stupid as he did with cavs, they will be a lottery team.

[LoneyROY7]

Clippers looking like the little brothers once again.

Good, but not quite good enough to beat Big Bro. :(

Will Davis even be back before Lebron at this point? They say he's still a ways off and Lebron is 3 to 4 weeks. They probably aren't winning many during that time. Drummond's teams have never won. Will be great if Drummond goes there and they are in the lottery :cheers:

Petrified of Bron and AD abusing Gobert in the playoffs :oldlol:


I don’t blame you Toody has serious trouble with legitimate skilled interior scorers like Bron and AD

AD is practicing and they said he is returning in 2 weeks. As per woj

He was supposed to be back by now lol

They are probably intentionally waiting to make sure it is completely healed. You don't want to rush him back for a few extra meaningless regular-season games.

those games are looking pretty meaningful at the moment as they drop in the standings daily

Don't you worry. We'll see you off in the playoffs if you can get as far as we can.

Hopefully they drop low enough to bounce Utah out of the playoffs in the first round :applause:

[Xiao Yao You]

Jazz are pretty much assured of at least the first round. Maybe the Lakers can make it that far too!

Imagine Toody trying to guard the LeBron/AD pick and roll in a 7 game series :yaohappy:
Poor guy will be helpless

The Lakers not having shooters means they'll just collapse the paint.

They didn't have shooters last year. And still won it all. Keep going though, this is fun.

That doesn’t work on LeBeast. They tried it last year and they still couldn’t stop him. Jazz better avoid the Lakers, LeBron will flambé Toody. Sacre bleu.

Jazz didn't play the Lakers and there won't be a bubble this year. Crowds, travel. etc. Different animal

Yeah the Jazz couldn’t play the Lakers because Toody couldn’t stop Jokic from turning into peak Shaq. Mon dieu.

Standings are not important for a team with LeBron and AD. Even if you don't have homecourt advantage, that team can win at least 1 game on the road.

Only teams I would like homecourt advantage over are the Nets and probably Bucks. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Bucks are still in reach, but Nets are too difficult to catch up to.

That's fine. Lakers have the best rebounder in nba now to clean up boards if we miss shots and get us 2nd chances.

Getting in the playoffs is important or else you're in the lottery. If they aren't top 6 there is no series. Win or go home. Anything can happen

Regular season ends in mid-May because of delayed start. AD is returning in early April, LeBron in end of April. We will have both for at least 10 games to get juices flowing and rising up the standings.

It's almost early April now. Last I saw he was a ways away. He will have to practice and then be on a minutes restriction. This a guy that asked out of New Orleans because he couldn't carry a team. Plus he's injury prone.

[TheGoatest]

This post-deadline Orlando Magic legit might be the worst team in the league yet the Lakers are struggling to beat them at home. These dudes suuuuck.

They were better last season.

[RRR3]

LeBron had these bums winning at a 51 win game pace without AD :roll:


HOW?!?!?

LeJesus.

[Nike D'Antoni]

They are barely up vs worst teams ( Cavs, Magic).

[kawhileonard2]

This team is stacked.

[LAmbruh]

thats cap

[LoneyROY7]

Gritty win against a scrappy team.

Now imagine adding LeChamp, Anthony, and Dre.

That's big. Literally.

[Thenameless]

it's not last year

Riiiiiight. This is just another year where the Jazz bow out early. Better hope that you're not in first place if we end up eighth.

[light]

will it be enough though?

In the playoffs they will have LeBron James and Anthony Davis and also the league's best defense.

Yes, that's enough.

[Xiao Yao You]

You'll have to worry about the play in if you're 8th. Have fun with that! :cheers:

Lakers have the clear-cut best rosters and are favorite to win it all this year.

That's how good kong is for leading the roster to a chip.

Not really though, the Lakers without Lebron are better than Nets without KD, so if Lebron = KD the Lakers should win championship.

[Nike D'Antoni]

:facepalm:

The Nets without Irving & Durant are better than the Lakers without Lebron. It will take Lebron > Irving + Durant.
Lakers wont make playoffs.
