Lakers have nothing to feel bad about...outside of Lebron's potential injury. Even smaller injuries to older players are cause for concern.
Lakers had a terrible third quarter but made it a game late. They certainly belonged on the court with a very good Boston team.
I only saw the third and fourth quarter. A lot of talk about Luka being injured and he did look bothered. I thought he looked the best I have seen him this year though. I always judge him on his ability to change directions attacking the rim. It looks like he is getting that back.
So as long as the Lebron injury is not serious or something that lingers, they should be fine. I did read they have a ton of games in a short time period due to makeups.
The playoff positioning is going to be really interesting. I think most want to stay away from OKC early. Teams will be leary of a heathly Golden State. I think everyone is going to target Houston and Memphis for a first round matchup. For the Lakers, a potential run of GS, Denver and OKC is probably their worst case run.
