If they had split the season series with Sacramento, instead of being swept, they would be .5 games out of 6th, and we would not be having this conversation. Those four games were as important in the standings as the last two. Context is important. If the Lakers are able to get into the playoffs, and hope to contend for anything, they will need a healthy AD. To blame him for this loss is short sighted and unfair, IMO. Also, you have no idea what AD's condition was when the decision not to play this game. You are making assumpitons without data. Your expectations are too grandiose.
