Anthony Davis left the Lakers game early due to an Achilles injury.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers season is over.

[Spurs m8]

Karma is a b1tch.

Pretty sure it's not an actual achilles injury though - as in not like kd

[Chick Stern]

It’s been hurting for a while

[kawhileonard2]

Is it an achilles though? They beat Miami due to injuries

[warriorfan]

Considering LeBron didn’t even make the playoffs when he didn’t have AD...they are in trouble.

You are as dumb as A bag of hammers. He came back from injury with A whole new team. It was the only time he couldnt drag A bunch of scrubs to the finals in 10 years. The trolling is lame.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

They got blown out of the game when Davis left. Wow Lebron is a sidekick.

[Axe]

It'd be a miracle if they make it with a hampered roster.

After the last game they should have kept him out.

Nah, you're the bag of hammers, champ.

He activated playoff mode because it was doable...but ate d1cks because he didn't have top 5 help

Sorry of his career

Do you mind telling me the next week's lottery numbers, since you can see into the future with regards to what should and shouldn't have been done?

If they wanted to be completely safe with him, then they shouldn't have played him for any games for the remainder of the season.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

They dont beat a top team like Denver without him.

Bran cared more about an MVP campaign than ADs health.

[PWB15]

Lakers season is over.


I hope so

[Lebron23]

I hope so

I hope you choke on your vomit

[clipps]

We get to see yet again how much of a fraud LeBron really is.

[pandiani17]

If he is injured for the season, no, the Lakers are not going to win the championship.

His achilles are a ticking time bomb. He can rest all he wants but whenever hes back and tries exploding and playing like he did before its just a matter of time before it tears/ruptures.

AD been looking slower and off all season... He only scored over 30 3 times this season. 3PT% at 29% lowest since 2015. FT% 71.5% lowest of his career BY FAR. Your FT% should not fall off that hard when youve consistently been 79-84% at the line your whole career. It just DOESNT happen specially at 27 years of age.

His body is not what it used to be. Playing through those injuries in the yoffs and now forcing it more than ever probably just furthered the process.

https://i.gifer.com/40cC.gif

[TheGoatest]

Eh, nothing new. His whole body has been like a ticking time bomb ever since he got to the Lakers. And no amount of rest is going to change that. They were lucky that he was able to finish the playoffs/finals last season. There was some talk that he would not be able to suit up for game 6 of the finals.


If he is injured for the season, no, the Lakers are not going to win the championship.

That is quite a bold statement. You sure have some guts coming with a prediction that a team consisting of a 1-2 punch + a bunch of nowhere-near-as-good role players will get significantly worse if half of their 1-2 punch doesn't play.

[clipps]

The Lakers are an average team without LeBron.

[LAmbruh]

No biggie, 5-1 w/o AD

Not like LeBron wasn't injured himself.

What is Curry record without Klay? :confusedshrug:

Davis will be back. He didn't tear his Achilles...

[Stanley Kobrick]

What is Curry record without Klay? :confusedshrug:
stephen curry is now 19-29 without klay thompson since 2018 and only 1 game over .500 on the season. stephen curry has never made the playoffs without klay thompson

See. You're mad because you know the Lakers are nothing without Kareem. Lotto. Magic actually led the Lakers to the Finals for a tough bout vs Michael Jordan but unfortunately James Worthy got hurt. You're mad because you know your idols only hopes hinge on another players availability. Its ok bro...let it out. Were here for you.

LeBron minus AD has a similar cast right now compared to Chef. AKA lotto. For the Lakers there are two eras in modern times. BC (Kobe) and AD (Anthony Davis). Those are the two eras post Magic in Laker history. And we are extremely appreciative of it.

The Lakers are probably going to keep winning without AD - just like they did last year - because believe it or not AD presence makes the Lakers defense worse and as long as they have LeBron they can keep winning.

LeBron's MVP is already gift wrapped and addressed to him.

You must be a brain dead baffoon. Any moron would know not to play AD until he's 100%.

I sort of agree. Having Frank Vogel as coach guarantees an elite defense no matter the personel. Its like how the Knicks currently hold teams to the lowest points per game in the league and its the ****ing Knicks. Why? Thibs. Defense is coaching mostly. Offense is how good you are at basketball. The Lakers can be mediocre offensively under Bran ball , but still win games off defense. That's on Vogel. If y'all had doc rivers or Tyrone lue you'd be totally toast.

No, Frank Vogel only had elite defenses with elite defenders (PG/Hibbert - LBJ/AD). His defenses in Orlando were below average both seasons ranking 18th and 22nd. Very Ty Lue.

He wouldn't have an elite defense now if he didn't have LeBron on his team but still had AD. He'd probably have a decent defense but it wouldn't be the #1 defense.

Curry's entire 2015 run was achieved by his opponents top players not being available. You're entire argument for losing the 2016 Finals is based around teammates not being available. His embarrassing performance in the 2019 Finals was blamed on his teammates not being available.

Davis has a calf strain. Out 2-3 weeks.

The Cavs were last ranked in 2018. I don't know what the 2019 Lakers were and don't care to look it up. But we've already seen peak LeBron on the Cavs... they were one of the worst defensive teams ever. Miami was top 5 in 2010. LeBron has never headlined an elite defense. You need a fact check.
