Lakers can beat any team in the west in a 7 game series as long as the team remains healthy. OKC would be the most difficult because of their depth and their willingness to actually play 10-11 guys. If Lakers meet them it would be in the conference finals and I’m not sure how those legs will feel for Bron and Luka by then.
LAKERS WILL BE A NIGHTMARE FOR ANY DEFENSE…IVE SEEN LUKA AND BRON WIN SERIES. IF THEY PUSH ANYBODY TO A GAME 7 GOOD LUCK!!!!
Man I wish ESPN would talk about the lakers some more. Seems like they never talk about them 😐
Are we forgetting luka beat okc with that dallas team!? And now he has a good team around him .
And they are clicking at the right time.
The Lakers have no answer for Wemby, and they cannot hang with an elite defensive team like the Spurs or Thunder.
"Jay look ahead the camera is on you brother." 😂
I believe they are the best offensive team in the league. And that gives them at least a punchers chance against anyone.
Its craxy think sours os even talk about they never won anything no experience we can beat them okc aient been healthy aol year injuries do happen anything can happen
Why nobody talking about the nuggets?
what do you expect from the loser Stephen A. great ANALyst mouth.
The Lakers have beaten the Spurs this season before they got everything together.
It's like they forget what luka did in the playoffs with Dallas just saying
DENVER will be READY
Lakers in 👋🏿
It's the Spurs vs OKC heading towards a collision course in the WCF. That is the most interesting series of all. GSG🎉
NBA about to Heat up 🥵
What ever happened to teams being young and not experienced. They think Wemby is so greats that it won’t be a factor compared to the lakers who got players like Bron, smart, Luka, and ayton whos been to the finals
LAKERS WERE THE 3 SEED LAST YEAR AND WHAT HAPPENED? OH GENTLEMEN SWEPT BY TIMBERWOLVES. THUNDER AND SPURS ARE A DIFFERENT ANIMAL. THE LAKERS MIGHT NOT GET PAST DENVER IF THEY HAVE TO PLAY THEM IN THE FIRST ROUND .
If the lakers go 7 with the spurs they winning that game😂then they might be too exausted in the west finals
The spurs are not even proven yet smh wemby will show up but I don’t think those other guys will show up come playoff time it’s too early for them. And the thunder are beatable this year with Williams being out most of the year. If he comes back it won’t be the same team. Lakers got a good chance at Making it if LeBron turns back the clock one last time cause we know Luka will show up. And the nuggets got a great chance as well. But Murray needs to play great and Gordon for jokic too have a shot at it
Lakers are nice, but they are not even top 3
Nuggets are the best team. People are really underrating the nuggets
Give the lakers a participation award.
