He wouldb’t have said this if he wasn’t genuinely confident in the team. If Bron’s confident, I am too.
Lakers in their last 23 games that mattered in the 2019-20 season:
– Beat the Bucks
– Beat the Clippers
– Beat Portland 4-1
– Beat Houston 4-1
– Beat Denver 4-1
– Beat Miami 4-2
👀 23-game Bron incoming?
I really think this team can do something. They just need to get on the right side of the 8/9 divide
Last I checked, they have one of the top five easiest remaining schedules in the league. And most of their remaining games will be against other teams in the 5-12th seeding so they absolutely have a chance to make up for it. One win for the Lakers versus another playoffs seed team is basically 1.5 wins – 2 wins for the Lakers.
IMO, this team has no excuses. They have the talent, defense, and shooting to compete. Ham needs to coach his butt off. AD should come back healthy and rested. D’Lo, Malik, and the ret of the guards need to work on their shooting and play their role the way they should. I genuinely believe the Lakers are the third best team in the West with this roster. Outside of Phoenix and the Nuggets, they have a better roster than everyone else. The fact Reaves is like a 7th option on this team already tells you how deep this team is if used appropriately.
Realistically what record do we believe we can achieve which would also be enough to get us a spot in playoffs/playins?
With Russ gone, our turnovers won’t be as costly as they were with him on our team.
Ham said he got something up his sleeves far as lineups & rotations so we going see what he capable of with this new roster
FUCK IT WE BALL
And he’ll miss at least 5 for load management.

Need to go 14-9 to get .500 41-41 record, that should probably earn them a play-in spot. It’s doable if they stay healthy.
Schedule wise, it’s manageable.

I’m sorry he should not be playing if his ankle is hurt
I want Lebron to play all 23 games. No missed games. We need to make a run and get a couple win streaks started.
League fucked. Him and AD are now going for the kill now after they saw a glimmer of light.
A proper NBA players that’s all these two killers needed. Them boys weren’t asking for Kawhi or KD equivalent, just some genuine NBA players like KCP and DG. Thanks for holding the fort LBJ when AD was down, now the real fun begins, we’re ready for take off.
Allstar game is a complete joke. He needs to rest as much as possible.

Say what you want about LeBron but he always knows how to talk to Lakers fans.
Hearing this, he was clearly load managing missing those 2 games. He wanted to be at his best post all-star break.
Guess he’ll turn up now. Playoff bron is coming early.
Does anyone know links to watch the all stars?
Understand it’s important for Bron to play in the ASG but it’s more important to close out this season strong and go into the playoffs on a roll, which means no more games missed for him and AD. Looking for 20-3 to put us in the top 4, I know it’s possible because I once watched the Lakers win 33 in a row, yeah I’m old.
basically, they coming out strong ! let’s go tinsel town !!!
WE GOIN TO WAR, GENTELMEN
