lakers are in trouble this year they are heavily relaying on LeBron, playing him in every minute possible because Davis is currently out injured for at least four weeks. Now they cant rest LeBron for the playoffs.
and if they rest him the Lakers would drop down in the standings quick. They’ll prob rest him for a game here and there but they need him now more now than ever they risk not reaching Playoffs rather then just rest him for good.
Lakers is finally back in the winning column as they won against Portland. Lebron put on another show with his team mates rallying behind him racking up great numbers. It would be natural for Lebron to only be played every minute because they lost one of their best players. The season is still early though so I guess they can adjust with the current team without AD playing.
Well both of them are in a losing skid, so it's either one of them will end it tonight.
I think it was a complete game for James after so many games, also, Dennis Schroder is back and that is huge as he contributed 22 points in his comeback game.
It's not natural though for James to played every minute, prior to AD being injured he has a good rest every end of the quarter to start fresh, so this strategy might not be a good idea in the long run.
