Why the Lakers and Bulls Are Defying Expectations with Their Surprising Pace This Season
Lakers vs. Bulls, 8:00 ET
For whatever reason, the scheduling guys in the NBA did us a favor and gave us basketball all day today. I’m not sure if this was a mistake, a test, or something else, but we have games starting at 1:00 ET and going all the way through the remainder of the night. I’ll happily take it as we have no baseball, and there is just one football game for the remainder of the season. Tonight, we get a matchup between the Lakers and Bulls taking place in Chicago.
The Lakers are 27-17 for the season and have had a bit of an odd year. There is a ton of talk about how well LeBron James has played this season, and, in fairness, he is having a great campaign. He is having a ridiculously good campaign for being 40 years old. I’ve undergone an evolution in my James stance. When he first came in, I was definitely a hater. When he went to Miami, I didn’t like him because I wanted my Bulls to beat them. I eventually recognized that we are watching one of the best players ever. He is arguably a better statistical player than Michael Jordan, but I’d probably argue I’d rather have Jordan’s career. There has been a lot of talk about James this year and how he is hurting the Lakers more than helping them. I don’t know that I support it, because I think his style of play can blend in with pretty much any team and roster. Luka Doncic continues to be an elite scorer and playmaker. Defense will always be a shortcoming for him, but he at least somewhat tries. The problem could be that they are without Austin Reaves who started with a career year and seems like he could be making major strides this season.Â
