Warriors?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jason get with these laker haters & start flip flopping like crazy
I can see the rockets losing in round 1 to a lower seed in the west. They’re still light on ball handling and shooting. They’ll be easier to game plan, and once a team can match they’re physicality and bother KD, then they’re toast.
Also, you say the wolves are better than they shown, I could agree with that with the Knicks, they’re figuring stuff out in the regular season with a new coach and offense but their built for the postseason and clearly the second best team behind the Cavs when healthy. Once they get defense figured out, they are a contender
Yeah maybe in saturn the Warriors are better than the lakers and a top 10 contender
Raps clear GSW
GSW over Miami? Nop….
Yeah sure Wolves at 5. My god.
So the wolves dont have flaws? Are we serious?
Laker haters are hard b on the eyes
The Thunder won a championship and didn’t play their best basketball. If they shoot halfway decent in the playoffs, that’s another ring and the start of a dynasty. They’re young and getting better, with more assets in the future. Honestly people better hope Denver beats them to kind of slow the avalanche that OKC is
Yall do understand that the wolves lakers series game by game was real close and if luka was luka from right now the lakers win that series 4-1 and not the Wolves. Yall act like this lakers team is the same as last year. Pathetic
Having the warriors and wolves over the lakers is so insane 💀😂 ngl I wouldn’t put the lakers lower than 4. The first 3 teams listed I think is fair for now. Everyone else is wild
Nuggets fan here – okc is levels ahead of us, deeper, higher floor everything basically better and better coaching, better talent, only way we beat them is upsetting them which has them shooting horrible again from 3
It's a weak take to say Reed Sheppard didn't look good vs OKC because context matters, it was the first game of the season with a new offense everyone was trying to find their footing especially Reed being the first game of his sophomore season. Next time they play Reed will obviously play with wayyyy more confidence
Impressed with Randle while everyone who has actually watched him thinks hes shit.
Well lakers transition has been near top 5 since LeBron has come back
Going skiing for Thanksgiving was my families thing for years, living the front range
Idk how much more mediocrity Minny and GSW have to show before it's understood that they're just not good enough lol. No amount of advanced analytics, tracking data, whatever will change the fact they're just not consistently good enough at actually winning basketball games so far
I'm ngl I'm really sick of the Nerd Sesh guys. I thought a couple years ago that it was just because they were Jokic fanboys and when it came to non-jokic stuff they could set their biases aside but its really apparent they don't adapt their views to the changing landscape of the league.
I commented this many times
OKC can be beaten but
A team needs floor spacing ball handling
What a noticed with OKC is they struggle defending an offense with a lot of dribble handoffs
Where the offense starts from inside outside then dribble penetration
That's how you break that defense
Meaning you need a big that can pass but also a threat to score
Look at the teams that have OKC a problem
Floor spacing and a lot of dribble handoffs in Denver and Pacers
How is Cleveland and wolves ahead of the raptors 😂😂😂 raptors bta Cleveland 3 straight times
The lakers slander is at an all time high
