    Suns rolling with Nurk at center? Dude is not a good defender and will definitely get hurt. He’s very injury prone. I actually feel like they were more dangerous with Ayton. I get they traded for depth, but I feel like they traded for depth in places they didn’t need to. That’s a big hole at center now for the Suns.

    Loving our roster and as long as we’re healthy for the playoffs, we can compete with anyone. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

    Damn. Magic saying fuck the current champs.

    I agree.

    I appreciate the good vibes from Magic but the Nuggets have to be the team to beat until it’s shown otherwise. Give them credit where credit is due.

    That being said I won’t be mad if we just beat the hell out of everyone this season. Just gotta stay healthy which seems to be the big problem.

    I don’t see Denver repeating, but it’s still way to early know anything.

  5. I appreciate Magic. But until we knock of the Nugs I’m not gonna put the Lakers over them. But I do think this team put together this year is the best top to bottom team we’ve had in a very long time.

    We matchup well against Phoenix. We have sneaky really fucking good fire power and our defense shits on theirs.

    18 HERE WE COME

    I mean is it really that crazy? Nuggets regressed, we got better and suns have too many holes in their roster

    Just taking what Austin Reaves said on The Lowe Post about the Nuggets: They pretty much out-schemed and out-systemed the Lakers in every way possible.

    And Ham out-coached Steve Kerr, only to get swept by Denver.

    I don’t want to upset the basketball gods by saying the Nuggets don’t deserve to be considered the favorites. They earned that respect.

    Hopefully we’re on opposite sides of the bracket, but I want to see Lakers and Nuggets in Conference Finals again.

    My god if we can get jrue for dlo and vando omg. Jrue, reaves, bron, Rui, ad with solid depth omg ring for sure

    Draft Kings says Lakers are 5th in betting odds at +1400. Vegas is waiting for you, Magic. Ready to put some money down on your “bold” prediction.

    Swap the Nuggets and Suns and I agree with this. I honestly have no faith in the suns. 3 of the exact same player and nobody else. They were already top heavy last year and Booker had a historically good playoff run yet the only playoff series they won was against crippled Kawhi and PG. If Booker dropping an efficient 37ppg and KD dropping an efficient 29ppg can’t get you far enough you don’t need to sacrifice the little depth you have for MORE shot creation.
