When you realize that we got Luka & LeBron (the fkn goat) on the team and we are 27-17.

Ahead of Minnesota and Phoenix by 1 game.
And that close to the play in.
Its all about perspective. Lakers are 27-17 only half a game behind for what would be second in the east (with a harder schedule than east teams as we play more games against the west). Knicks get talk about a championship or bust season with a worse record than ours
We rlly need to capitalise on devin bookers injury amd put some separation with phx right now cuz our schedule only gonna get much harder after asg.
Those 17 losses could’ve been just 10 or 12

Doomers need to fucking relax, it’s still early
Our strong start really saved our asses from being in a relatively bad position right now.
Hopefully a trade or two can help us finish the rest of the season strong after the AS break.
and Vando didnt hit his prime yet
I smell blood in the water. We should all be hunting for the first seed
Glad to see fans who aren’t complete doomers we have a chance, no we aren’t the favourites but the favourites don’t won’t every year l.
WC, like last year, will be really close; a couple of W/L can make the difference between a solid seeding and the Play In Tournment (or even worse).
That’s why people gets so upset after (unexpected) losses. But personally I think the Lakers are more or less where I was expecting: OKC, DEN and HOU we all expected being superior; SAS is a surprise but MIN (which just had a game postponed) and GSW are clearly underperforming.
