Lakers win on the luckiest final possession imaginable. Dribbled the ball off his foot... but instead of a turnover, the Wiz left someone wide open underneath the basket.
Lakers lose by 14 (wasn't that close) to the Kings. Drop to 13-18.
Bron put another 34 mins into his body
Lakers are screwed

Espn just posted an article saying Anthony Davis is out "indefinitely" with a stress injury in his foot.

Lakers say Anthony Davis has been diagnosed with a stress injury in his right foot. He remains out indefinitely.

Confirmed again.
That's gonna be a while, I feel
Basketball.
Stress....
fracture? Perhaps?
I have a feeling he will be out until Feb 4th....when the Pels and Lakers play again.
I'm seeing 2-3 months as speculation by some.
It's only a matter of time when Bron's body breaks down from carrying the Lakers without help
Big loss for the Lakers tonight — drop this one at home to the Hornets! And the Hornets with a healthy Lamelo Ball can make a run to get ahead of the Lakers in the standings.
And now the Lakers’ extended road trip begins.

It's all falling into place

I'm not sure which is more likely... this, or Bron just throwing in the towel on the season (at times, it looks like he already has).
Merry Pelmas, everyone!
I think that moment where his shoe came off on the game-winning drive last night might have done it for him. The look on his face as he just sat on the floor was not a positive one.
Thank God for Pat Bev going full tard on that 4 v 2 fast break
Patrick Beverly has one of the biggest gaps between who he actually and how people talk about him (average fan).
If you listened to your average guy, he's a gritty hardnosed defender who isn't an elite scorer but makes all the winning plays and really runs the floor.
The moment you watch him he's just a yappy foul-merchant who talks big game to try and overshadow his lack of top tier NBA talent. Like a barking chihuahua.
So pretty much like most short men.
Short for an NBA player. Still considerably taller than the average man. Which makes it even funnier.
It also shows how high the bar is for elite NBA talent. Pat Bev was an absurd high school player. The fact that he was the best player on pretty much every court he stepped on in his career until college, where he was still really great, and then come to the NBA where he's largely replacement level at best is such a wild step.
That's ignoring the other career turbulence PatBev had, ofc.
Mavs got the win, Lakers lose on Christmas day
All I want for Christmas is Wemby.

Merry Pelmas again
Hey y'all! Lakers fan here, I come in peace to ask a question. Would you guys be open to AD returning?
AD for Dyson Daniels + filler (Devonte, Jonas?) + the 2023 pick swap and 2024 pick Lakers owe you.
It's a small ask for AD but I don't think Lakers can ask for more since we got a title out of him. With this trade, the Pelicans go fully into immediate win-now mode, as AD is the perfect Center to have behind Zion and BI. AD gets to redeem himself with the team that drafted him, and hopefully helps to win y'all that first title. The Lakers get to enter full rebuild mode, which is needed there. Win-win-win for everyone. I don't mind the Pelicans and BI wining many titles while Lakers are rebuilding (for at least 3-4 years) because it will simply mean the Celtics aren't winning. :P
The alternative, well, Lakers could trade their 2027 and 2029 picks away to get reinforcements and make the best of Lebron's last years. Lakers won't win another title with Lebron... but it could potentially mean the Pelicans only end up with a pick in the low teens in 2023, a pick in the high teens in 2024, and no titles.
If nothing else, you have to admit the lineup below looks really well balanced and having AD would put y'all over the top as favorites over the Bucks, Celtics, Warriors, Nets, Suns, etc. Some of these teams look shaky right now and it they stay shaky when the playoffs roll around, it could provide the Pelicans with an excellent opportunity to go for it. Example: Middleton has been injured, CP3 is aging quick, Cam Johnson is injured, Kyrie is always likely to implode, Warriors are missing some defensive bench players.
McCollum, Herbert, BI, Zion, AD
+ GTA/Kira, TM3, Naji, Hayes, Nance/Willy
AD never said good bye to his fans in NOLA. That bridge has been burned and they will never reunite. Plus... Keep him and give us a top 5 pick in a loaded draft.
Yeah, nah.
The thing about Brow is beyond his role as a player. Nobody denies that, when healthy and motivated, he's the elite of the elite in the NBA. But that means nothing when it comes to spite. Would you take back a girl who cheated on you just because she was hot? I would hope not.
The other thing - small but worth noting - is that you're saying to us that he's ''the perfect Center'' to match with BI and Zion.
Pels fans told the world for nearly a decade that Ad refused to play C and that when he does his injuries increase because he's physically frail. Nobody believed us. He goes to LA, media crows about him being the perfect C for Lebron and we're telling people that's not the case but nobody listens. We're not going to be fooled with the ''he's a C, really!'' trick on the way back. We know this guy.
