Thats the number of players who have gone through the NBA H&SP’s this season to date. thats 101 more than the amount ofminutes our big 3 have played together. 201 is the number of players who have gone in during the nonth of December. 88 more than the anount of time Russ, LBJ and AD have had to coalesce. 170 players in justvthe last 2 weeks. You see where I’m going. Look, we might trade Russ in seasin, this summer or he might end his career as a Laker. Same goes for THT, Nunn and every other Laker currently on the roster. while the probability of all of them sticking with the Lakers for the foreseeable future is basically 0 the fact is that they’re Lakers right now. As such Im pulling for them to overcome the deficiencies of the group and figure out how to start winning some basketball games. If they get traded or sign elsewhere I’ll wish them luck, good health and good games with losses agaisnt the Lakers. Same as I do for Caruso, Ball, Randle, BI and Josh Hart. So lets find some team spirit, put away the Laker holiday hats (which are 0-fer on my side) and kick some ass tonight. Go Lakers.

Right on, Jamie. Agree 100%. Whether we make a big trade or not, we need the guys we have to start playing a whole lot better or we don’t have a chance of winning a ring this year.
Feels very emotional, indeed. But what a way to hammer it out loud, Jamie. I agree with you completely.
It might sound tiresome but we need to tap into the raw potentials of Jemmerio Jones, Stanley Johnson, and Jay Huff. We need all the energy infusion they can bring to help with the rebounding problem we have been having. Rebounding and hustling by committee? Sure. Give them minutes while AD is out. Something good is going to come out of it.
The good part it that I think the Western Conference playoff teams are already set. Hard for me to see POR, SAC, OKC, NO, HOU jumping into the mix and knocking us out while we figure it out. So there’s no need to panic.
My hope is that AD is realizing that the fanbase is beginning to turn against him and he finds what’s been missing while he’s rehabbing. If he can somehow find his inner Lebron/Giannis and actually dominate games on a nightly basis then alotta problems will magically disappear. But there are far too many games when you forget he’s even on the floor. That can’t happen with a Top 5 talent in this league.
I thought it was the number of Russ turnovers in the last 10 games.
