    I see things like this :

    Unexpected loss by the Floppers so good news , Grizz , SAS losses are "normal", so are Kings and Utah wins.

    For us on the season : 2 unexpected wins at GS and Dallas and 4 unexpected losses ( at home vs Magic , Grizz and Knicks and on the road against Nets)... not ideal

    despite the counting stats, harden's hot streak has been over for a few games. if he's going to go 11-32 for 38 points, the opposition is going to take that.

    Blazers losing against the Nuggets is also good for us. Because, frankly, we are not going to catch Denver. But San Antonio, Portland, Houston? Sure, once Bron is back... it's definitely possible.

    All I know is, these next 2 games are must wins. If we don’t win these games against the 2 worst teams in the NBA it will come back to haunt us in the final weeks of the season as teams fight for playoffs spots in the West. These are games you have got to take care of business even without LeBron.

    We are now tied for 8th and about to be thrown to the wolves before the all star break. If Lebron isn't back anytime soon, things are going to get pretty ugly.

    We should first beat the Knicks and Cavs at home before we worry about the playoffs.

    Is that a serious question? Harden alone is better then the Cavs and... you've seen the result last night.

    He took 17 three-pointers and made 1, its much better than Cavs.

    Sure, he has some bad games and some greatgames, but still... the Cavs and the Knics are awful in general and they still managed to beat us.

    yeah we're over here worrying about moving up in the playoffs when we're losing AT HOME to the Knicks and Cavs...

    We are in real danger of actually missing the playoffs and falling all the way down to 14th in the WEST...have you guys even taken a look at our upcoming schedule?

    Even with LeBron back....this is what we got to look forward to:

    @thunder, @rockets, warriors, sixers, @clippers, @warriors, @C Bags, @pacers, @sixers....

    We are screwed either way, but we're likely out of the playoffs if LeBron ends up missing all of these games (which btw, is still a real possibility). We will lose all of those games without LeBron and likely split those games with him (heck we'd be LUCKY to split them actually).

    Those home losses to Cavs and Knicks will cost us the playoffs...tied with Utah and we're not looking any better and LeBron isn't looking any bit closer to returning...

    Front office overrated the s*** out of our young players and it's showing right now...literally the worst case scenario is happening...we're losing without LeBron while our young core gets exposed for the crap that they actually are.

    Just a couple short weeks ago we beat Golden State without Lebron, and fans were all...

    [​IMG]

    But mix in a couple week string of pathetic showings, and Laker fans be like....

    [​IMG]

    It's a long season. Hopefully things turn around soon though. Sucks the joy out of being a fan.

    Yeah what's crazy is....wer'e literally a few lossses away from being the 14th seed in the west and getting a top 10 pick in this year's draft (with Cavs, Knicks, Bulls, Suns, Hawks, Wizards, Pistons and Magic ahead of us). We'd be picking at 9th or 10th if that happens....would that 9th or 10th pick plus our young core be enough for the Pelicans to bite on our deal if Boston refuses to include Jayson Tatum? I believe so....may even be able to keep Kuzma and Hart in this deal if the pick is that high.

    9th pick + Ingram + Zo + fillers and likely a future first round pick?
