The most recent loss has added a lot of misery to the team’s table standings. However, former NBA champion has put in a positive reply to Lakers’ issue.

Mychal Thompson said, “It doesn’t matter… As long as AD and LeBron are healthy for the playoffs… They could be the eighth seed and still have the confidence of coming out of the West and meeting Brooklyn in the east in the finals. So it doesn’t matter about the seeding right now, all the Lakers are concerned about is… if LeBron and AD are 100% come playoff time, then there’s no problem. They don’t need more court advantage to get to the NBA Finals.”

Even LeBron James’ latest injury has forced him out for at least another week. This will definitely be test for the bench players to put their best efforts. Other than that this is an important part where the superstars rest up before the playoffs.
