I'd prefer one that didn't involve losing to a team that hasn't won in a month.

The worrying part for me is that is shows that despite AD playing pretty well, the team still relies on Lebron a little too much.

For the game to be that close? It never should have happened. Anyone other than the Pistons and Wizards maybe and this would have been a big fat loss.

They were handling the Spurs fine with their regular rotation players. It was Ham's insertion of Wood in the 4th, along with playing Reaves and DLo together at G that resulted in a complete collapse of their defensive pressure. Keldon got whatever he wanted and Wemby hit some 3s as well.

They were giving them far too much space. Plus all those turnovers in the last couple of minutes were just sloppy. This should have been a 30 point blowout!

Wow, that was a terrible 4th quarter from the Lakers yesterday.

To be honest with you, I kinda wanted the Spurs to win. What better wake-up call can you get?

Yep. I was kind of hoping Ham would have done a Phil, kept AD out and let the guys on the floor either figure it out, or learn from the collapse.

They play them again on Friday and i'm pretty sure Lebron will be back for that one but yeah I had hoped they would sit AD out in the fourth too.

They might just sit him Friday, swapping days off with Lebron.

Monty would've put in the corpse of Fennis Dembo to make sure you guys got the W

It'll be interesting. AD said before the season that he intended to play all 82. If memory serves, he's only sat 1 so far.

I get a feeling he's going to try to play as many as possible. Going for that DPOY title and trying to prove the haters wrong!

The only time I actually see him sitting is in B2Bs when the second game is against a pretty bad team.

Depends on how that ankle responds after cooling down last night I guess.
