I know we had all the "Lakers are old" jokes but they are literally the slowest team in the NBA...

-Average speed of 4.25mph (slowest in NBA)
-Spent 68% of the time walking on the court (highest in NBA) LINK

However, because the East is stronger this year, a 37-45 finish would put the Lakers at 23rd overall, so if they didn't make the playoffs, then we would get that pick.



That doesn't make sense. They would finish with a better record than 7 teams but only 2 from the East? So 13 teams in the East are finishing with more than 37 wins? I know there are a lot of teams overperforming expectations (Wiz and Cavs mainly). But some teams are going to start to fade pretty soon..

Here's how their computer projects the East right now:

MIL Bucks 54-28
BKN Nets 51-31
PHI 76ers 49-33
ATL Hawks 49-33
BOS Celtics 46-36
CHI Bulls 48-34
MIA Heat 46-36
IND Pacers 42-40
CLE Cavaliers 41-41
WSH Wizards 41-41
CHA Hornets 40-42
TOR Raptors 38-44
NY Knicks 38-44
ORL Magic 20-62
DET Pistons 18-64

The Lakers are up by 19 at the half on the Thunder, however.

Today is typical:

With seven minutes left, the Wolves are down 30, getting crushed on their home floor by the Cavs.

The Hornets beat the Kings.

The Pacers beat the Mavs.

The Bucks are beating the Rockets.

We are the only West team today beating an East team.

Bill Simmons was talking this week about what a beta AD is. Said he regrets putting him in his all-time top 75.

I love how the media is calling AD a beta (which he is) but then in the next breath say how we don't deserve a team because we couldn't win with AD lol.

AD took a double whammy last night... rolled his ankle on someone's foot (which would've taken him out a month in NOLA) but he came back and got someone shoved into his knee by LeMao

He collapsed in the tunnel trying to walk back to the locker room after the knee injury

Any word yet on his condition?

The players that got left off for him are pretty wild.

You’re gonna leave off Klay Thompson for him? Really?

Seriously, the Lakers' staff thinks that his knee is probably OK, but Davis is getting an MRI today.

An MRI revealed a MCL sprain for Anthony Davis, the Lakers announced. He will be reevaluated in approximately four weeks, the team says.


Wow. Our chances at that pick just went up considerably.

Last season they had banked a ton of wins before the injuries hit and they still fell back to 7. Right now they're just 2 games above .500 and AD is going to miss 4 weeks.

Unfortunately for us it really feels like the league could be on the brink of shutting it down for a few weeks to cool off COVID.
