I also agree with you, I believe that these games would already have in mind who would win, but unfortunately I couldn't bet
I couldn't watch those games, but... with the return of AD I believe the Lakers improved a lot.
Anthony Davis got 17 rebounds and Monk scored 29 points!
I believe that if the Lakers continue with this performance, I think they can go to the playoffs easily!
But first we will need to analyze whether they will maintain this consistency.
I totally agreed, after that injury rest he just return as nothing happen, he suddenly is playing like an all-star, giving the team double-doubles in every game and in great timing because right now Russell Westbrook is like a paperweight for the team, sorry Westbrook fans I don't really like the guy, But Anthony Davis recently admits that his knee hasn't fully recovered yet, but he keeps on pushing his limits despite his knee could eventually get injured again, but I hope not,
Malik Monk surely has a future and from the brinks of despair he stands up and makes it happen for the Lakers, performing well is not enough and this kid has a bright future ahead of him, and Lebron James has upped his performance a notch after returning from his injury, and pushing himself just like Anthony David is doing, but I don't know about Westbrook, does he even playing in the team?
I think the team of the Lakers could eventually get tired this is not consistent at all and they could really reach their limit when they play at this rate.
LeBron already missed 5 games in a row, good thing that he's back now in a good shape and made easy triple double but Monk and Davis truly shined in the game today. Though they struggled in the 1st quarter but it's nice that they bounced back well in the 2nd until it came to OT. Hopefully, they'll maintain this standing and consistent in the next games. On their next game they will face the Bucks, hard team to beat but we'll see their performance soon.
I really like those two's performance, and despite Anthony David's Injured knee not fully recovered yet, he is doing something like this, and Lebron James as well is not fully recovered but they're sacrificing their body just to make a good game and win, No thanks to Westbrook at all.
