I'm more optimistic than I was a week ago. The Lakers seem to be getting more energy/effort and contributions from the role players. Russ has also played better..........I think AD is further along than the Lakers are letting on and are going to hold him out as long as they can. ... I'd take an 85-90% Nunn > THT.

Let's also keep in mind that CP3 and Curry are still recovering from injuries.

* The lakers have no defensive guards who they trust the least on offense

* Bron is too old to carry the team on both ends all game

* AD was already looking suspect even before the injury, shooting like shyt and his defensive effort was mid

* Lakers are still relying on waivers guys to give them heavy minutes at C, PF, and PG


This just isn't a complete team. They're pretty much 3 players away (a secondary ballhandler to trust, a solid 3-and-D swingman, and a defensive center) from being a contender.

Russ is 2-8 for 4 points and 5 turnovers and that doesn't even come close to showing how woat he's been
