While we were underwhelming against reserves a lot of teams have been. The Kings lost to the Nuggets 2nd unit with all the starters.
The important thing is we are in and at home against the TWolves. It will be interesting to to see what they do with Rudy. Heard on a broadcast that McDaniel broke his hand. He punched a wall. What’s up with these guys throwing punches?
If we get past the TWolves, I like our bracket. The Griz will be without Adams and Clarke so I think we have the edge there. Then we get the winner of the Warriors and Kings. We avoid both the Suns and the Clippers who have had our number. Hopefully we will pick up our energy because we haven’t had much the last few games.
NEXT 17 LAKERS WINS:
Lakers > Timberwolves
Lakers > Grizzlies
Lakers > Warriors
Lakers > Clippers
Lakers > Celtics
I have been very worried about the Lakers’ lack of energy during matinee games. Has anybody noticed that? Are those games too early for them? The past several games have not been impressive even though they are all wins.
I just want to see the team play with hunger and take good care of the ball. Way too many turnovers from James these past few games. We are talking about 5 turnovers a game these past two games. At least he did better today and I love his mindset and composure in this game. Hope that carries over to the next game.
The good thing – we signed Tristan Thompson and Shaq Harrison for insurance. That’s a nice move, just wish it had been done earlier. Now, let’s hope Schroeder recovers just in time for the playoff battles.
