The objective is to stay afloat without him and let him get healthy. They are now 7-5 without him this year, and 5-5 in Feb with him out. The last two games have been a turnaround from what was looking pretty ugly.

I looked at all the losses and I only found 1 in which Lebron and DS played without AD. Pretty much if they have 2 of the 3 they win.

I'd add more but whats the point when Drob is like a brick wall

I'm not trying to make it personal against anyone here... too much of that going around these days, and I'll just stick to sports.

But I've said it before.... almost every year, in Jan or Feb before the All Star break, LeBron and his team have some sort of crisis. And every year other than his first year in LA where he sat for the end of the season, he's worked it out and ended up in the Finals. 9 out of 10 years in the last decade. Think about that.

I'm not saying they are a shoe-in for the Finals and nothing can get in their way, just that this isn't anything worth panicking about.

I guess the big difference is, Bron has gotten by in the East because there hasn't really even been a decent team to even worry about.

He's really gonna need AD back and playing like himself during the Playoffs and soon.

Although Bron has probably mastered the ability to win enough Reg season games by now.

And he clearly wants another MVP trophy

Ooooh touchy are we. Calm down precious.

I've bet the Lakers hard to repeat. So I'll either win a nice chunk or get to laugh at another failure by LeBron.

DS has been incredible. I hope he's ready for being the scapegoat though for any losses where he and LeBron are playing.

The Lakers still have a solid group from 1 to 9 without AD. I just think TJ shouldn't get too excited about beating POR who are missing key guys and that Dubs team.

Their whole month of March schedule is pretty soft. They could go 10 and 3 pretty easily at worst.
