When LeBron and AD are both playing and LeBron puts forth a great effort (like he did in the IST) then the Lakers are a great team. Otherwise we are too inconsistent and just an average team.

LeBron and AD would’ve won with any three NBA players tonight.

Big Big Win for the LakeShow, desperately needed it and they got it. Lebron drops 40, AD great as always and the bench comes thru

We can enjoy our weekend, Boston on Christmas…

The Lakers still have plenty of work to do if they want to be ready for a Finals run this postseason, and they could be making a move before the trade deadline to help with that goal. Regardless, more big performances from James and Davis will aid Los Angeles well.
