Aloha,
Phil Jackson use to circle games on the schedule what he called schedule losses. He would have circled this game. We played a hard fought game down to the wire against the team with the best record in the west. We fly into New Orleans at 3:20am for an early 6pm game. Then we find out two more rotation players are out. Then to top it off we lose Rui after 7 minutes. Still we managed to hang around most of the game, tired legs and all.
The schedule and injuries have just been brutal. The Lakers lead the league in back to backs this year with 7. In comparison, the T Wolves have had 2 and they have been healthy.
The schedule turns around for us in January. We only leave LA once. But we have to get healthy. We have had guys coming back but we haven’t had a healthy group long enough to find a rhythm as a team. And if you are waiting for trades to turn it around, they won’t matter if we can field a healthy team. Let’s hope this long stretch home cooking to turn things around.
