LeBron fuels the Lakers to desperately needed win over Washington
His knee still hurts and the season isn't going anywhere. Is LeBron better off sitting out? Are the Lakers?
The Lakers are in a bad space. The odds of this thing turning out well, or even close, are increasingly slim. Through it all, LeBron James is playing on a bum knee and what appears to be a more finite amount of time to be LeBron James...
Trying to find rock bottom for these Lakers is a fool's errand at this point.
LeBron James was back in the lineup. Russell Westbrook had his best game in weeks. Malik Monk, Austin Reaves, and DJ Augustin (!!!) all made big contributions. And yet the Lakers lost to a (now) 17-win Houston Rockets team because they turned the ball over, missed too many free throws, and couldn't play defense to save their lives. Deja vu, all over again. And again, and again...
The Lakers have many, many hard choices coming this summer, and LeBron's recurring knee problems don't help
Nothing is easy about this season for the Lakers, and nothing will be easy about this offseason for them, either. Tons of huge decisions to be made. Now, that includes the future of LeBron James. Not just from the POV of what James wants, but also whether the Lakers would be wise to commit to a core comprised of James and Anthony Davis, since now neither guy can be considered reliable from a health/availability standpoint...
No, Lakers fan, you are not allowed to have nice things, or enjoy anything for more than 24 hours. That's about as long as people had to absorb the awesomeness of LeBron James and his 56 point effort Saturday to beat the Warriors at the Crypt. Monday, his left knee swelled up like a balloon, and he had to sit out. Will he play Wednesday in Houston? Nobody knows...
The parade of unfortunate events continues for the Lakers, as LeBron sits out one game after dropping 56 points...
The Kamenetzkys discuss new reports about Westbrook's issues in film sessions, a push to play him off the bench, and more.
