It's Incredible How Good the Lakers Look Without Lebron Playing

[ShawkFactory]

All of the role players are playing very well at the moment. Let’s see if they can sustain it.

If so once Bron comes back they’ll be a tough out in the first couple rounds at least.

That's the thing, these role players don't shine when Bron is playing. They need to play better when he's in the lineup

Fuming so bad he has to lie.

https://www.basketball-reference.com...ason_odds.html (Lakers 2nd) - Missed Play in.

No playoff series win in front of Lakers fans.
Oh!

The main thing has just been the increase in energy with the new guys. Which started before Bron went out.

Lakers looking scary without the bad effect of bronball. When the time is right, we’ll see bran come back and ride on the success of this momentum.

I mean small sample but lakers are 9-4 with the new group and of those games 3-0 with bron. There just isn’t a discussion here no matter how much you’re trolling. The players will play worse individually when bron comes back but the team will be better

It's a night and day difference. Their ball movement is so much better, they have more energy, they get better shots, better defense, and on and on.

The eye test says it all. There's no denying it.

Up by 35 over the Pelicans at half time.

Can you imagine how good they're going to look once lebron is back.

Lakers were 19-15 with lebron since his November injury pre-trade deadline. 3-0 with him since the deadline.

Compared to 1-4 and 6-5 without him over these periods.

This team with lebron could definitely win the West if everyone stays healthy. I can even see them beating the Suns with KD, as long as lebron is healthy.

Finally we have an average roster, but we’re 6-4 without Bron and 3-0 with him since the trades.

The Warriors won more without Curry than with him. The Grizzlies are beating teams without Ja, the Suns were a 60+ win team without Durant.

Our guys without Lebron have a negative playoff record and are basically rookies in the game. We need Lebron to make a noise in the playoffs. And we lost stupid games we should have won without him vs the Kicks without their best player…

We've seen them with Lebron....and they were mediocre.

Before Lebron decided to sit out and load manage they were playing slower, not getting as good of shots, worse ball movement, massive hole on defense, etc.

Lakers 5-3 now after LeBron went down. Maybe they aren't a bunch of scrubs after all.

They traded the scrubs.

they still have one but he "hurt" his foot
