Don’t look now but the Los Angeles Lakers have gone streaking.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is deemed questionable to play this coming Wednesday against the Miami Heat at home. Meanwhile, in other news, water is wet.

After losing just once in their last 17 games, there’s no denying that the Brooklyn Nets are looking like a well-oiled machine at the moment.

The load is obviously heavier now for LeBron James, with Los Angeles Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis out indefinitely with a stress injury in his right foot.

Entering the 2022-23 season, LeBron James has only missed the postseason four times in his career. Simply put, James’ teams are almost always expected to make the postseason.

Klay Thompson certainly made LeBron James’ day even better. That much is clear after the Los Angeles Lakers forward saw the Golden State Warriors star drop a 50-piece on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

2022 was a chaotic year for the Los Angeles Lakers. Last season, the Lakers limped to a 33-49 record, weighed down by toxicity surrounding Russell Westbrook, injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, tension between the players and front office, the lame-duck status of Frank Vogel, and a laughably misguided roster. Fortunes haven’t improved much. […]
