Lakeshow on their way back. Question now is what trades do they plan to make after December 15th? Healthy Lebron and AD performing like this still has a change to compete in the West. LA not finished yet they still there. Bev+Nunn or do they still trade off Russ?

If only they didnt blew the lead against the Pacers 😂
if they didnt lose against the pacers…….
Lakers basketball is enjoyable again 😭
If Lakers end up with a winning record, Ham should win COTY
West is a fucking bloodbath
Imagine if Russ Lebron and AD just keep looking like they did tonight
I liked them more at 2-10 tbh.
Ham is legitimately a great coach overreactions asf to the 2-10 start with everyone being injured
if we didn’t lose to the trailblazers and pacers bruh
*Siiiiiigh.* The death of the Lakers was greatly exaggerated.
I LOVE BASKETBALL AGAIN

I know OP’s just copying the tweet, but we really don’t need to do the “X games back of the Y seed” thing with four months left in the season
New roster, new staff, and messy rotation of players missing time at the beginning of the season all made us look worse than we are, imo. I still don’t think we’re a championship squad, but we certainly aren’t a 2-10 type team.
These next few weeks will be crucial in who this team is schedule is pretty tough. Off to a good start tho
AD went from looking like his back was gonna give out again, to Bubble AD
Honestly they just need to get LeBron and AD at peak form to the playoffs, despite their record, I don’t know of any teams that would like to face those 2 guys in a playoff series.

Wins against the Spurs, Pistons, and Dame-less Blazers. I guess it was a good win tonight against the Bucks, but I’m still not buying it.
They played the Spurs 3x and the Pistons. Good win tonight over the Bucks and recently vs the Blazers but this is def a bit of a soft spot in their schedule
I honestly think they should keep Russ at this point. He is a solid player for them and they would have to give up too much to get off him. Nunn and Bev need to go, but trading them is going to be extremely difficult.
They got New Orleans AD back.
3 games back as in currently the 12th seed lol.
Ok but they are also 4 games away from being the in the western cellar with Houston
This lakers team could shock the world
Crazy what happens when AD shows up
I miss 0-82 trajectory Lakers
Calm down, we beat the Spurs 3 times in that stretch.
They’re also 3.5 games ahead of having the worse record in the Western Conference.
Petition to ban statmuse.
Been said this before the year start the west going to be like this all year.
But I thought they could only beat the spurs?
No matter how it shakes out I’ll be content if we keep fighting and competing like we have been. Honestly felt like we were gonna roll over at times and we haven’t.
We’ve there’s gonna be some hell to pay for a bunch of media members who have been enjoying shitting on us a little too much.
yeah ima start watching lakers games again bc wtf
>They are 3 games back from the 4th seed.
this is a fancy way of saying that they’re the 12th seed
Good now espn and everyone can focus on them and leave every other legit contender alone
The talent when LeBron and AD are healthy wasn’t really the question, though the lack of shooting is sketchy. Just hard to have them both actually healthy
Until AD gets injured…
This from the moment AD decided that he will make an effort to play well.
They ain’t catching the 4 seed. 4 seed about to be healthy finally. They about to move up in the rankings
That’s a really complicated way of saying they are in 12th place and wouldn’t even be in the play-in if the playoffs started right now.
4 games away from the 4th seed, also 4 games away from the last seed.
The lakers are the trust fund kid of the nba, given every possible advantage and still finding ways to suck
