Are they not? They don't look like a playoff team without them.

They are a high lottery team without them.  Ignoring it would be disingenuous.  You still have to get the W against even the worst teams, though.  It is tough to do that consistently and this is another link in that chain.

Yep this victory doesn't count either like the other 7.

That’s the second time Dennis jumps straight into the defender and they gave it to him. He literally jumped to the right on that last one smh

LeBron might not be available but the refs know it is still the Lakers so....

But they are - granted we played them well with LeBron. 

All I care about is a win, #4 spot in the East and the winning streak continues 8-0.

[Spud2nique]

We are now tied with the Heat for 4th place in the East!!!

A win in the NBA is a win I don’t care if Moe, Larry and Curls were playing for the Lakers! High five  

[RedDawg#8]

Not our best game offensively but considering the variables (travel, matinee, covid vaccine) I will let it slide.

Glad we got the W, that's all that matters.

The win counts as much as any other on the schedule for the standings.  The win goes from one that would be a fantastic upset to one that should be a given and would be a disaster to drop.  Very,  very different level of competition but every win counts so it is critical to win these.  
 

We weren’t tested against a good team in this one but we weren’t winning these games consistently at the beginning of the year.  Hawks can’t control the schedule - got to beat the opposition you face.

Yeah..Didn't Orlando just beat the crap out of New Jersey?

[Thomas]

No matter what BSPN says we still don't have our best wing available and also our best wing defender available as well. Not crying for the Lakers here. BSPN will take care of that.

[Spud2nique]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I disagree here... I WANT MORE!!!!!  (Maybe not kids but wins)

@lethalweapon3 I need your w count!!

So why are you talking about the laker's team without Lebron and AD instead of the Hawks?  Who cares if the Lakers are injured.  Nobody cared when we were beat up
