Real chance at the 10th seed now. Warriors own the tie breaker. They've played us 3 out of 4 games without one of Lebron/AD and once without either of them. We can beat them with AD Lebron both playing. Both are mismatches for their team. When one is missing they just load up. Agreed, although it will be a little harder now to get it done at the Warriors arena compared to at home which will likely be the scenario unless the Lakers win out and Warriors drop a game (or Suns or Kings crumble).

only the Lakers can this happen to Kerr, knowing AD was out, easily predicted Hams attempt to not let the Warriors have a layup line again like last time AD was out vs them. Told his players to be ready to shoot practice 3s all game long and they made alot of them. And whenever Ham adjusted, the Warriors recognized it and got easy baskets near the hoop. Kerr hardly ever even had to stand up out of his seat the entire game. He sat on the bench and watched the gameplan work out as planned. AD is pretty much our entire defense with Vando out. I saw some moron on twitter say that even if we had AD they still would've shot that well. AD is the Lakers most important player and we're basically fucked whenever he doesn't play.

So how injured was AD? I wonder if he could have sucked it up and put on some goggles and played. The lack of urgency with this team is terrible. Happy 10th seed!
He may need to go to goggles like Kareem anyways the way he gets poked in the eyes a lot.

He may need to go to goggles like Kareem anyways the way he gets poked in the eyes a lot. Goggles wouldn't help whatever nausea he was dealing with last night. However, it might have protected him from the effects of getting hit in the same eye once a week for the past 3 weeks. 1st time against Warriors which swelled it up and he left the remainder of the game, 2nd time a week later vs Wizards where he got elbowed hard in the same eye, and then another week later vs Minny in the same eye which took him out the remainder of the game and caused whatever nausea he was reported to have. Was thinking about the goggles thing too. After the Wolves game Worthy said something about him suggesting it to AD previously but that AD didn't want to wear them or something like that.

Not a chance they get all the easy looks they got all night all over the floor with AD playing.

Ah, I didn't know he was still having nausea, that makes more sense. Maybe in training camp next season he can get used to wearing them.
