Lakers’ Postseason Hopes Hinge on Health, Says Pau Gasol
Despite a season fraught with challenges, the Los Angeles Lakers have a beacon of belief in franchise icon Pau Gasol. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis showcasing strong performances and maintaining their health, the Lakers have a solid foundation to build upon. Gasol, speaking on The LADE Show, emphasized the critical need for the team to maintain a healthy roster to stand a chance in the playoffs.
Gasol pointed out that the Lakers possess the talent and the pieces necessary for success. However, he noted that the entire roster needs to be in top form, including players like Austin, Rui, DLo, and Vanderbilt, to make a significant playoff run. The margin for error is slim, and every component of the team must align perfectly to contend for a championship.
After a rocky start to the season, the Lakers have shown signs of resurgence, winning six of their last seven games. This turnaround could be the momentum shift the team needs as they approach the playoffs, with Gasol cheering them on from the sidelines.
In addition to his insights on the current Lakers team, Gasol also shared his experience at the recent Kobe Bryant statue unveiling ceremony, describing it as a ’beautiful’ tribute to his former teammate and friend.
