Assuming Ham will continue his good rotation like in the 2nd half of the pelicans game I think this can be done. Also assuming Bron and AD will be healthy. |
10-5 in this schedule
12-6 with the New guys
3-0 with the New guys and with Bron
4 wins out of 8 games to finish the season @ 0.500 |
10-6 in this schedule
12-7 with the New guys
3-1 with the New guys and with Bron

I predicted a split with Bulls, they lost today, next game a must win. |
11-6 in this schedule
13-7 with the New guys
4-1 with the New guys and with Bron
3-0 with Bron, AD, DLo playing
3 wins out of 6 games to finish the season @ 0.500

14-7 with the New guys
5-1 with Bron after the trade deadline
4-0 with Bron, AD, DLo playing
2 wins out of 5 games to finish the season @ 0.500
Winning next 5 games is attainable, still have a chance at 6th spot, that is if AD is ok. |

Suns is potentially the best team in the West.
We definitely should not play them in first round if we can help it.
Kings and Grizzlies is a much easier road. |

better chance to beat them in the first round where they still dont have chemistry. |

Until a few days ago I thought the Kings was the better matchup for the Lakers, and they should avoid the Suns as much as possible.
The Kings are still a better matchup, but when I look at it now, the Suns won't be that bad of a matchup. They also have to account for LeBron and AD, and CP3 will also have work on the defensive end against DLo. Book will have to defend DLo or AR, and we know how bad a defender Booker is. It will not be lopsided in favor of the Suns. _________________ “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”

We need to clone Vando so we can have him guard KD and Booker both. Realistically we probably have Vando on KD and Reaves on Booker, and maybe in crunch time Vando on Booker and LeBron on KD? Or AD on KD and LeBron on Ayton? |

The same could be said of the Lakers
Edit: Lakers are undefeated with DLo, AD, and LeBron starting. The Suns are also undefeated with KD starting. |

It seems this was realistic if DLO/Lebron would have been a bit more healthy. Hell of run and turnaround since we replaced small guards that can't shoot with bigger wings and bigger point guard that can shoot or defend or both (and pass).
Going to be fun in the playoffs.
As I've been saying the last few weeks even when we were losing, play ins were a lock. The rest of the West down there is so bad this year. They can't put together 3 straight wins. Or 5. It's laughable how inconsistent the rest of the West is between 5-10. Anyone from 5-10 is about the same.
If we had made a trade like this at season's start. we probably end up 4th in the West this year, even with the DLO/Bron/AD injury prone-ness. |

I do....I think it continues with theme of get-back. AD and Bron have not forgotten 2021. If we have to play the Suns, better to play them early and get that massive confidence boost. If we take out Phoenix, I have no doubt we will be in the Finals and I would put us the favorites against BOS and PHI with MIL being a push. |

Who do they have that can even bother Bron or AD. Answer is nobody. Give me D'Lo right now over washed CP. Give us our team chemistry and defense over theirs anyday. |

This was a loss before it started… horrible game management in Utah slips into a super late night prior to boot……no way this team wins a playoff series against the Clips even tho they are definitely more competitive now…. Might end up 9/10 |

People were afraid of getting the fifth seed. The west is too tight for one game to spectate one seed. Going to the play-in is what most people wanted isn’t it?? |
