Watch whats going to happen. Lakers will sit AD say hes hurt but want to avoid nuggets. Watch us win against lakers without AD to get nuggets in a series.

IF...Lakers want to tank to avoid Nuggets in 1st round, I doubt they would be dumb enough to just "sit" AD due to injury, and then bring him back for next game vs GS/Kings winner. Just too obvious. So, they'd probably start him even though he's injured (g)...and then his back would tighten up early in the game...& he'd have to sit...then, they can say they tried to play him and hopefully he'll he be fully recovered for home game vs GS/Kings winner.

Otherwise...if they actually want to tank...AND play AD...he'll have to play like crap the entire game & I just can't see AD doing that.

BTW...folks seem to say it's gonna be GS for sure...but last line I saw...GS was -2 vs Kings. I can't see Lakers losing to either team...playing at LA...if it got down to that...& I doubt LeBron thinks they could lose that game either. Lakers/Pels should be an interesting game...for sure.
