Luka gonna go down with gout and LeCal Ripken gonna have arthritis if they make it to the WCF
I actually agree with this
Hayes isn’t playable in this series at least for more than 8 min a game. Vando is borderline unplayable for long stretches. Goodwin is too unreliable. Dalton can’t play playoff min.
Really gotta hope that DFS and Gabe are your main scorers off the bench and that your main 4 get you consistent scoring.
It’s a problem that those 6 are your only playoff rotation guys. Lakers need at least 2 more consistent guys and they don’t have it
I think the Lakers will find a way to get through this series and face the Warriors. They don't have a big worth a damn either so the Lakers not having a big is less of an issue but man... that's a lot of wear and tear on Bron at this point. He's gonna have to play 40ish mins a night at a high level with 1-2 days of rest and I don't think he can do it anymore

I wonder if Ant is going to come out more aggressive. Minny has to draw up some shyt that allows him to attack and catch instead of him initiating the offense which allows the Lakers to trap him and zone up around him.

I think Lebron can manage considering he isn't having to run the offense as much. He gets to rest more on offense as Luka creates. These 40 he's playing now aren't near as hard as in previous years where he was having to try and break down defenses the entire time.
You're right, that's a good point. I hope he can stay healthy through the playoffs. Rooting for the Lakers to win. Nico might never recover from that
Whatever "rest" he gets on offense now is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, when there's no more AD and no legitimate big to anchor the defense. There's a greater demand for him to defend bigs, set the defensive tone and crash the glass than there has been since 2020.
He might be saving energy on offense, but that energy is being used on the other end.

As long as Luka and Austin, to a lesser degree, can carry the load on offense this is what is gonna have to be against the TWolves
The length of MN makes it so Rui and Bron need to be the anchors of the defense.
I personally feel like Lebron had a GREAT game last night, and if not for some errant Reaves passes probably finishes with 27-29 points and they win more comfortably
But they were consistently up double digits playing the way they did last night. They just gotta do it 3 more times
Can't wait until we trade Jaxson Hayes, at this point Vando is better playing the center position cause at least he has great defense still.
What is Jaxson Hayes actually doing out there besides picking up fouls quickly. He has a chance to turn things around, and I hope he does but it's not looking too good.

He is just too small Rudy pushing him around
Maybe next round he can do more
AD low key had the same issue
