    Lakers in 5 but seriously the Lakers going to be a problem u gotta think about the Lakers bench Dalton that rookie is on fire 🔥 he's deadly he put up bout 30 on Portland without anyone creating plays for him the Lakers is going to the finals and Morris can come off the bench and bomb from 3point range the Lakers got shooters

  20. @WitnessRAH

    So lakers only won by 9 with no gobert and no julius randle and anthony edwards getting ejected and no ones worried? 🤔

  23. @Rob-b2q8p

    I don’t think the wolves are as good a matchup as you think. Warriors are probably an easier matchup tbh

  25. @JohnRastomyan

    Either way , warriors or wolves , this is a tough matchup , especially both teams have about a whole week rest, I am a laker fan but mannnn the whole wild Wild West is so stacked up no matter who you match up with

  29. @onepab01

    the Twolves are not an easy matchup. the good thing going for the Lakers is Luka as he's quite comfortable playing against this team.

  32. @everydaffodil5344

    This is an insane take, outside of OKC the Wolves are probably the WORST matchup for LA because of their defensive versatility.

  35. @ahmedguled7828

    This guy is as delusional as they come lol. Zero actual basketball analysis in the video. The one game he’s going off were without Gobert or Randle and Ant getting ejected.

    You don’t consider the Wolves recent form and the fact they’re 17-4 over their last 21 games. Suns fans were the exact same way heading into last years first round series that ended in a sweep 🧹. I can’t wait for reality to hit these Laker fans

  41. @EliSchneider-x6b

    This guy is delusional holy hell. T-Wolfs in 6 watch Randle go off against lakers would be hilarious. So much for an easy matchup this dude got no analysis it’s almost funny. Jaxson Hazes not defending GOBERT. Lakers gonna get shut done cuz Luka is not consistent and Bron old as hell.
