Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

I think the Bucks is the one I can’t see us winning, but the game against Philly tonight is winnable with Embid still out imo.

Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but I do believe these guys will rally and will be able to win some of these games as the competition gets a little less difficult.

 

I'll take 2-3 and run away with it. Only one win is more than possible though.

 

1 win against Orlando , maybe Cavs but it's a b2b .

Sixers won't take us seriously but still will win even if it's a close one .

 

No Embiid, no LeBron no AD.. League must be thrilled.

 

cavs and magic are the only winnable games. kings have been playing very well lately

and even with embiid out, you just know someone like stupid a** danny green will torch us

 

Team showed a lot of fight to come back from 18 down in the 4th, just couldn't close it out. 3 guys with 20 points+ tonight

Tomorrow Cavs, Sunday Magic. Win those 2 games

 

I'm not one to give the Kings credit, but Richaun Holmes will bully our front court in this game.

Drummond would be a nice match up for him

 

All you had to do was wink.

 

Ugly wins but I'll take it! 2-0 this weekend

They get 2 days off and then they play MIL. Next few games looks brutal but here's an opportunity for the young guys and role players

 

If we didn't have Frank I would get Stevens after Ainge fires him lol

 

looking at toronto, knicks, maybe boston, and one of the mavs games as chances to steal one, but we'll be underdogs in pretty much every game. most by a lot, i think.

i wonder if stevens is really a genius and how well he'd work with grown men instead of teams full of kids. some coaches are good at overachieving with subpar talent but can't get top shelf guys to win (dantoni is an example, i think, as was rick adelman). the C Bags had a very college-ish team the past few years, imo. they may be growing out of it.

 

Little bit of a trap game for Milwaukee as AD/Lebron are out and our guys will have a honeymoon period with new guy Drummond joining us. I have a good feeling we might steal a win Wednesday

 

yeah, i thought that, too, but i wonder if drummond's unfamiliarity with our schemes on both ends might be too big of a hurdle for the adrenaline to jump against a team like milwaukee, who's been playing together for a while and is good at exploiting weaknesses like that.

 

I expect a loss for us. No worries, gives AD2 a measuring stick.

 

low pressure game, for sure. nobody expects us to win, watch us hit 50% from three for once.
