🏀 Lakers Aren't Done Yet

Things are nowhere near as bad as they might have been without LeBron. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Just when you thought the Lakers were done, they send a clear message they are here to stay … The Packers have a clear way of handling things that has made them successful for years … and more! The strange season of the Los Angeles Lakers lurches onward, as unpredictable as ever, changing its face from night to night, devoid of certainty. If you've been distracted by other things of late, the first thing to know about the Lakers' campaign is that it is not done, despite how it looked and seemed when LeBron James went down with a right foot tendon injury on Feb. 26. With 12 games to go, it moves onwards like a rickety old rollercoaster, with plenty of bumps in the road and bruises sustained, yet enough minor highs and mini-bursts of excitement to set up a frankly intriguing close to the NBA's regular slate. In the befuddled Western Conference, where the logjam of parity encompasses all except a tiny collection of outstanding teams and a couple of miserable ones, Los Angeles finds itself in a spot that could twist a number of different ways. At 34-36 and having gone 5-4 since James' absence, things are nowhere near as bad as they might have been. What happens next would make a delightful topic for a high school speech and debate showdown, such is the heft of the evidence on each side.
