Lebron and AD weren’t healthy heading into the playoffs and it should have been fairly obvious to anyone that watched them. Just because you drop 40 one game doesn’t mean that you’re fully healthy and ready to go. Everyone out here is playing with some type of injury this late in the season.
Yeah but that is the reason people had Lakers winning because of those performances against the Suns that they had and their top tier defense. AD dropped that 40 bomb and looked like he was getting back into rhythm after the injury and Lebron seem to be getting there but he was always up in the air. Plus they had Dennis too.
This series only really came down to if Lakers role players are hitting their shots or not, and if Lebron and AD can stay healthy. Suns gameplan is literally to leave us open on the perimiter and clog the paint cause Lakers can't shoot .
