The Lakers just beat a team who a lot of people have as a top 4 seed in the West.

Not only that, but they adapted halfway through the game to effectively make one of their star players completely useless.

Funny how it's gone quiet now...

I never said that. I said once you factor in the loss of Ball, Ingram, Hart, Zubac...They are actually a worse team overall than last year even after adding AD. Not very hard to understand. They look terrible, slow and looks like father time has finally caught up with LeChina

The Pelicans on the other hand look pretty good and are going to be tough out once Zion comes back

Classic.

Just like when you said the Warriors would be worse when they added KD because they lost Bogut and Barnes.

Some people just never learn.

Hopefully to the draft lottery.
Get a NBA championship banner hanging from the rafters in Staples and then we can talk about the draft lottery. :-)

If they hit their max potential they are good enough to win it all.

But I don’t think they will because they don’t match up well with the Clippers. I also think there are a number of teams out west capable of beating the Lakers in series.

Lakers are big and slow. They are going to need to have intelligent offensive schemes and really good defensive rotations to beat some of their top competition in the West.

Realistically this team could win it all.

At 100% full health the Lakers are the best team in the league.

Doesn't mean it's going to happen though.
Not sure they need to at 100% to be the best team tbh.

Get Kuz back and play with each other a few more games and they might get there.

People started panicking when they lost game 1 of the season.

They should have only 10-15 losses MAX for the entire season. Shouldn't lose more than 2 game in the playoffs. . Come on!! LEBUM can't win a title with AD and Kuzma? ROFLMAO.. Anything less than a title is a complete and utter failure. LeBUM once against whines for another Superteam. Like the 10th one he's had. He needs to deliver. They will probably get another 1 HOFer at least before trade deadline too.


Shit, if MJ got to play with as much talent as LeHelpME for the last decade, he would have left Russell's championship total in the DUST


Shaq, Irving, Love, Wade, Allen, AD, Bosh, Kuzma and a host of 3 point sharpshooters.... And only 3 measily rings to show for himself.(Basically 2 of the 3 came down to injuries suspensions, LUCK). What the hell more do you need.

Dude has been handed EVERYTHING by the league for the last decade plus and little to show for himself in terms of what was expected.

Theres no GS superteam anymore with for excuses. These clippers aint even close to the Warriors when they were at full health as a superteazm.
