Lakers now in 6th. Only a game up on Portland

 

[wildturkey]

With wins tonight, the Nuggets have moved to the 3 seed and Dallas is the 5th seed. Seeding out West is gonna be nuts, especially if teams start tanking games to duck the Lakers in Round 1

Lakers’ LeBron James returns from injury, but ‘I don't think I'll ever get back to 100%’​

It took LeBron James six weeks to heal his high right ankle sprain, and at 36 years old in his 18th NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers star suggested he will still have fights with Father Time.
“I know getting back to 100% is impossible. I’ll never get back to 100% in my career,” James said. “But I felt comfortable where I knew I could get on the floor and help my team win.”

and this is what i am saying about Klay Thompson too.

I am sure Thompson will have amazing nights still. He will likely be an all star or close to it multiple more times in his career

but Klay - on a night in and night out basis- will never be the best he was at his height---- no one would be after 2 season missing injuries and aging into their early/mid thirties.


plus - ill still put up a bet to anyone that wants it---- ill take the rest of the West vs. the Lakers to get to the Finals. not win the finals- just to get there.

High ankle is one that lingers. He will be feeling it all playoffs
