Anyone else seeing the lakers look significantly better without lebrons stat chasing and ole defense? Westbrook has been unlocked and Davis looks like a star again.
I don't know. I have not watched any games but so they beat DET last night. Davis has been great. No doubt. That is who he is when he is healthy in my opinion, Lebron or no Lebron.
Westbrook last night was 4-13 overall with 12 assists, not exactly unlocked. To me, that just means he had the ball in his hands a lot more since Lebron was out. I am not sure the ball in Westbrook's hands is better than the ball in Lebron's hands, in any general sense.
I don't think Lebron coming back will change Davis's game. I think when healthy, he is just a really good player. There will be an impact on Westbrook but I am not sure that will end up being a net negative for the team. Does it really matter if it is Lebron or Westbrook who goes 4-13?
