Seems like a good opportunity to start a streak of wins.
At some point the Lakers need to stop being the team that other teams look to as a pushover and a likely win on the schedule.
Time to change the narrative. To be the team that is competitive and battles each min of a game on most nights. The team they highlight on Sportscenter for their impressive upset win. I would like to see that team.
Go Lakers! |

Eventually we will have to beat a good team in their building. Wolves on a b2b.

With LeBron out looking like a possible 20+ pt blowout if AD doesn’t play either.

The Lakers don’t even think they can win this game.

Could be outside the play in after this stretch of games. Quite a freefall down the standings.

Well this is what I was thinking last night when he continued to play a AD 5 million minutes after he injured his ankle. Like they were really trying to win that game and then didn't. And I just felt like he (Ham) was at least greatly concerned about tonight's game.

This is another real contest. Gobert and KAT are gelling and playing good ball. They're the modern day Twin Towers. We're going to have to match their height down low. This is another game that will test the teams character. They have to come to play and Ham will have to coach. If we have't gotten over the In Season Tournament jubilation we're gonna get our ass kicked. Our resident fragile injury has tweeked again. AD won't be able to match KAT and Rudy. No Bron or Gabe makes winning this game a task of gargantuan proportions.

How are you expecting us to match their height? I’m being honest Hayes and Wood hardly see the floor and AD can’t do it alone they also have a very good stretch big in Naz Reid, I would honestly be stunned if this game wasn’t over by the 1st quarter |

They’ve already forfeited the game. If AD plays on a freshly rolled ankle it’s organizational malpractice.

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH! As I said winning this is a task of gargantun proportions. The Lakers as a whole will have to step up their games. We're not supposed to win this game but I'm gonna hang on to hope that we find a way. I'm gonna ride the win Buss till the wheels fall off.

| LeBron said if the other night, our team isn’t assembled for us to withstand injuries to players and now Gabe and LeBron are out and AD will most likely play on a bumpy knee if we had quality role players we might have made games like these competitive but as LeBron said we don’t |
