Lakers went 6-2 after James came back. They finished 5 games ahead the Mavericks for the play-in.
So they'd have had to have gone 1-7 without James to miss the play-in. They'd gone 8-5 without him after the deadline. 8-3 without him and with Davis.
Yeah - you were ALL over it. Even in hindsight you can't admit how unbelievably wrong you were. Because your very identity seems to in some way require making EVERYTHING about LeBron James. A squad who, without James, was putting up some of the best point differentials in the league for several weeks, was obviously just going to roll over and die if he hadn't come back when he did.
This team was playing well enough for James to at least attempt to earn his $44 million salary this season and you absolutely refuse to acknowledge it because you're doubling down on ball-washing. It's just bizarre.
