Anthony Davis' unwinnable fight to save the Lakers' season (SB Nation)

With LeBron James out with an injury, the Lakers need Anthony Davis to play at his peak if they want to save their season.

As time has progressed, it is supposed to be Davis’ Lakers team with LeBron as one of the league’s best right-hand men. So much of what the Lakers have been built to be is around the idea of what LeBron and Anthony Davis are together. But without LeBron - which Davis will be eventually, one way or another - AD is forced to be the bearer of all that Lakers championship-or-bust burden weight. And in fairness, to an extent that isn’t possible - and also part of the Lakers problem. And while the Grizzlies are indeed one of the league’s best teams, things do not get easier from here with LeBron James out. They simply need Anthony Davis to be other-worldly in order for them to get back in the playoff conversation in a parity-riddled Western Conference. Anthony Davis continued to be a force, finishing the game with 28 points (on 19 shots), 19 rebounds, and 5 blocks. and being a menace on the glass and around the rim. The Lakers committed 25 turnovers in the Grizzlies game - certainly not helpful when scoring attempts give way to Memphis possessions, especially in transition where the Grizzlies thrive. LeBron and AD have shared the floor in 28 of them. Their sub-.500 regular season reflected that reality - as well as the intermittent availability of both James and Davis as a duo. was 4-1 since their major [NBA Trade Deadline](http://www.sbnation.com/nba-trade-rumors) acquisitions, bringing D’Angelo Russell back in to the fold alongside Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Mo Bamba to help bolster a roster that was fairly mundane around superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
