Honestly, if you told me you’ve come from the future and that the Lakers lose tonight’s game against the Nets by 40 points, I would not bat an eyelash. Sure, the Nets are without James Harden (hamstring) but with Kevin Durant returning earlier this week, that blow is softened. Of course, the Lakers are down Bron and AD, and all three of Kuz, Caruso, and Gasol are listed as questionable. If none of that latter trio plays, the Lakers may need to ask Jason Kidd and Phil Handy to suit up and give some minutes.
Honestly, I wish I had more to say about this game, but I really don’t.
