Things still might click for them again, but with LeBron playing on an injured ankle that has clearly impacted his lift, AD playing tentative on his own injured calf, and the rest of the Lakers being more or less complete bums, I certainly wouldn't bet on it. This title is the Nets' to lose and has been since they added Harden for nothing.
