Anthony Davis Returns But Lakers Come Up Short VS Dallas Maverick 110-115 | KCP 29 Pts
Anthony Davis Returns But Lakers Come Up Short VS Dallas Maverick 110-115 | KCP 29 Pts Not even Anthony Davis' return was enough to stop the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 115-110 in Thursday's showdown between Western Conference contenders at American Airlines Center. Luka Doncic led the way for the victors, who have now won two in a row and sit at 32-26 on the season. Solid showings from Dennis Schroder and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were not enough for the Lakers in Davis' first game since Feb. 14, as the Purple and Gold fell to 35-24 overall with their second successive loss. Notable Player Stats: Luka Doncic, G, DAL: 30 PTS, 9 REB, 8 AST, 3 STL Kristaps Porzingis, DAL: 19 PTS, 6 REB Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, G, LAL: 29 PTS, 6-of-12 3PT Dennis Schroder, G, LAL: 25 PTS, 13 AST Andre Drummond, C, LAL: 14 PTS, 19 REB, 3 AST, 3 BLK Lakers Fall Short in AD's Return: The biggest news Thursday came before tip-off when Lakers head coach Frank Vogel told reporters Davis "feels great" and would play 15 minutes in the first half as he works his way back to full strength. Los Angeles largely treaded water without the big man and went 14-16, although the fact his absence overlapped with LeBron James' made things even more difficult for the supporting cast. Still, health is far more important than seeding and home-court advantage for the defending champions who won last year's title at a neutral site. That is what made Davis' return such a welcome development, although the rust was apparent as he shot 2-of-10 from the field and struggled to create quality looks against Dallas' interior defense. He did flash with a couple of jump shots, but it wasn't the vintage Davis the Lakers surely hope to see come playoff time. It would have been easy for the visitors to fold once they fell behind by double digits and knew they wouldn't have the eight-time All-Star for the rest of the game, but they battled back and took the lead in the third quarter. Caldwell-Pope caught fire from three, while Schroder darted in and out of the defense and created looks for himself while willingly facilitating when the Mavericks collapsed on his penetration. While Drummond posted a double-double and Montrezl Harrell provided a spark off the bench at times, the two guards ultimately did not have enough help. Kyle Kuzma was in foul trouble for much of the game, and nobody outside of Caldwell-Pope and Schroder finished with more than 14 points. So Z Nation, what did you think about Anthony Davis return and the Lakers Loss Against the Mavs???

Lakers Fall Short To The Boston Celtics In Comeback 113-121 | Talen Horton Tucker 19 Pts 7-15 FG
Lakers Fall Short To The Boston Celtics In Comeback 113-121 | Talen Horton Tucker 19 Pts 7-15 FG Boston defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 121-113 in the latest edition of the rivalry between the two historic franchises on Thursday at Staples Center. Jaylen Brown led the way for the victors, who extended their winning streak to five and improved to 30-26 on the season. In addition to dominating throughout, Brown also made two critical baskets in the closing minutes after the Lakers' second unit came charging back from a 27-point deficit to add drama at the end. Solid showings from Marc Gasol and Talen Horton-Tucker were not enough for the Lakers, who dropped to 34-22 as they continue to struggle with consistency without LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Marc Gasol, C, LAL: 18 PTS, 4 REB, 3 AST Talen Horton-Tucker, G, LAL: 19 PTS, 7 AST, 7 REB, 3 STL Ben McLemore, G, LAL: 17 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 7-12 FG Montrezl Harrell, C, LAL: 12 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST, 1 BLK Kyle Kuzma, F, LAL: 13 PTS, 2 REB Alonzo McKinnie, G, LAL: 10 PTS, 2-3 3PT Shorthanded Lakers Missing Firepower to Keep Up It has been a game of guess the primary offensive threat for the Lakers ever since James and Davis suffered their injuries. In fact, the Purple and Gold featured a different leading scorer in each of their previous six contests. It was Kyle Kuzma who spearheaded the effort in Tuesday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, which was a much-needed showing for him after he posted a plus-minus rating of minus-26 in Monday's loss to the New York Knicks. There were even fewer candidates to spearhead the offense Thursday with Andre Drummond and Markieff Morris sidelined and the Lakers offense was largely missing in the early going. Gasol was the only starter with more than three points at halftime, although Talen Horton-Tucker and Montrezl Harrell provided a spark off the bench to keep Los Angeles within striking distance. The offense temporarily arrived in the form of Gasol and Kuzma after halftime. The pair combined for five triples in the third quarter alone, which was the only thing that prevented the Celtics from fully pulling away. Still, it wasn't nearly enough with Brown going off at the other end. The Lakers didn't have their stars who could have countered Brown with their own head-turning performances, and the lack of consistent production from the starting lineup outside of Gasol and Kuzma proved to be their undoing even though the second unit made an impressive charge at the end. So Z Nation, what did you think about the Lakers loss against the Boston Celtics???

JR Smith believes LeBron James is much more patient now After a rocky finish to their time together with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which resulted in one of the most memorable memes in NBA history, the relationship between #JRSmith and #LeBronJames was put into question.

On Friday morning, Smith spoke with the media over a Zoom call and talked about what’s different about LeBron’s leadership style at 35 in a Lakers uniform compared to when everything fell apart in the NBA Finals with the Cavs a few years ago.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis 'Unlikely' to Play in All 3 Scrimmages | LeBron and AD Lakers 2020
LeBron James, Anthony Davis 'Unlikely' to Play in All 3 Scrimmages Lakers head coach Frank Vogel told reporters Friday that it is "unlikely" that guard/forward LeBron James and big man Anthony Davis play all three scrimmage games in advance of the NBA's restart at the Walt Disney World resort near Orlando, Florida. HOWEVER, Kyle Goon of the Southern California News Group, Vogel said plans have not been finalized and that the duo could end up playing all three. The Lakers will be playing the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, the Orlando Magic on July 25 and the Washington Wizards on July 27. The entire scrimmage schedule can be found here. The Lakers play the Los Angeles Clippers on the first night of the restart on July 30. A win there would put the Lakers 6.5 games up on the second-place Clips with seven contests to go, virtually locking in the No. 1 seed. So Z Nation, what do you think? Should #LeBron and #AD sit these scrimmage out and be ready to go on NBA Restart July 30th??? or should they play the scrimmage games???
