They just got AD back and they are a couple games out of the playin what are you talking about? I'm not pro Lakers but to say there is no way they would even make the playing is just straight wrong. It's games like this when you win that propel your team, or on the flip side side track you. Every game is important when playoff seedings are games apart at the end of the year. This game counts just as much as a game at the end of the year.
To be honest they are just 3 games out of 5th place in the west that's how close every team is right now in the west.
Yeah, I would not rush it too, dude just came back and he needs to get his rhythm back same with Brandon Ingram of the New Orleans Pelicans who had been on and off the court. Injuries are not something to mess with, they need that fire lit back again and it doesn't come out 1-3 games, worse, 5 games.
But we know AD once the focus of him returned he could score 30-50 points and that's when we could say he is back with an expectation of a winning streak for the Lakers team.
I would not even worry about the seeding, the battle is so close from the top 3-13. Anytime another team could be on the playoff seed or there's always a chance to win the play in tournament.
That is true. AD has been away from the game for a few months, and it will take a few games to take away the rust from his play and get the groove back. And there is an adjustment period with their new acquisition as well, Rui Hachimura.
The Possibility is always there and by the thing, on how Lebron James is playing right now he is like at his prime I think this is because of his goal, he is really eager in getting that and right now he is 158 points away from Kareem Abdul Jabbar's All-time NBA points leader, and I think this is motivating Lebron James to do what he can in getting that record, and I think for Lakers in getting Bronny James I think this will keep Lebron James in getting motivated and giving his son a championship ring, I think what Lebron James needed right now is just motivation and the Lakers will give it to him,
Well, I don't know if LeBron James is in his prime, but I have no doubt that he is living a great moment in his life, because he is going through several important moments, for example, his possible retirement (I believe that maybe in 3 or 5 years he may retire, this is not real, just my assumption), LJ is winning several records, he is also having a not very good time in the Lakers (although he is scoring in several games), and also I have no doubt that he is analyzing and preparing (or at least helping) Bronny to enter the NBA, depending on the situation I have no doubt that LJ will also intend to do everything to get Bryce into the NBA in the future (which in my opinion has had a great evolution recently).
He is not in his prime, but he is surely playing too well for a player his age. Thanks to his incredibly strong body and the way he maintains it, he was able to achieve this feat. Hopefully, his sons will be able to come close to Lebron's achievement. But history is against them. The more successful the father in NBA, the less successful are the second generation players. Hopefully, it is not the same with Bronny or Bryce.
