This team was doomed before the season ever started:

No shooting
No real PF
Magic fukks the team up even more by trading Zubac

LA's a flawed basketball team who's had 1 or 2 key players injured for 90% of the season.
I looked at their roster early in the year and hit the :patrice::jbhmm::dahell:. Point guards who can’t shoot or finish, a bunch of journeymen centers who are all not known to play big minutes, Lance and Beasley as bench signings, and question marks around Ingram and Kuzma since they’re young. that roster just doesn’t fit. I’m not sure if Walton is or isn’t good, but making such a poor fitting roster work is a lot to ask of anyone.

And they struck out on their buyout signing. I remember being mad that Chandler chose LA over Houston but then after about 4 games I was glad he chose LA. We ain’t need no more flabby bigs.

Lebron missing the playoffs in his first year out West sure adds credibility to the claim that he wouldn’t have made 8 straight finals(3 of em being with teams as bad) if he played in the West most of his career.. even if you look at context and injuries, still doesn’t look good.

If you or @ISO can provide me with a decent sized list of superstars playing major minutes in the AS Game while hurt, I'll take a ban until the seasons over.

and by season i mean playoffs too....so until mid-June
He’s not hurt hurt. He’s out of shape and laboring an injury that nags

And again the All-Star game a meaningless exhibition, a light scrimmage and he trying to play himself into shape
