Are The Lakers A Legitimate Threat To Win The West And NBA Title?(2nd In The West Right Now)

[qnsfinest]

They were 8-12 not to long ago against teams .500 or better.

Now they are 19-12. They are beating really good teams. 10-2 in feb, 8 win against teams with winning records

Saturday will be interesting

 

[good pups]

watching them since right before the trade, they've been real good. I feel like they used to let games slip away in the fourth last year, now they're pretty dominant at the end.

one thing I'll say is it seems like the other teams are missing wide open shots. happened like ten times in the last two minutes with the clippers last night.

 

[good pups]

it's crazy though, haven't allowed over 102 points for the last seven games

We’re a if everything breaks right in terms of matchups threat. If we had one more big I wouldn’t give a fukk who we were playing.

 

[Jerz]

Nah

So ya'll gonna give JJ Reddikk his flowers?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Still hard to trust Jaxson Hayes as your only center

that nikka is 100% the weak link.

Rather play small ball with Rui at the 5.

Never trust a nikka that has his name spelt "creatively"


Jackson made too much sense, so let's go JAXson to make him special. Yeah he special alright...special trash

 

[The God Poster]

I’m still not confident once playoff intensity kicks in. The defense holding up & an injury to Luka would be catastrophic. Team has played very well tho. Rob made the right move getting rid of AD sooner than later

 

[High quality poster]

Nah.

 

[ReggieFlare]

They could win the West but they’re gonna have to deal with whatever monster comes out of the East and they probably wouldn’t win against them

 

[Peruvian Connect]

Yes. They should currently be the favorites. They have two dynamic scorer who both are great play makers. No other team comes close to that,

 

[CHICAGO]

And dumbass Coli basketball experts really tried to act like the AD trade was "equal"

Luka is an undisputed top 5 player at the minimum, LeBron is turning back the clock looking like Miami LeBron doing everything on the floor possible. They have a legit shot at making the Finals. The way they locked in on defense against the Nuggets was something special. Reaves is a very good 3rd option, and they've got dogs on the defensive end in Vando and DFS. This is exactly turning out how everybody besides the Coli knew it would turn out, you don't just give away a top 5 player for an injury prone big in AD and not expect it to have somewhat immediate success. I still have to see how they look against OKC, and Denver in a playoff setting again, also they lack center depth but it's not crazy to think they could make a deep run.

AND IF THEY RUN INTO
A HEALTHY DALLAS TEAM
AD GONNA GET THEM
THE fukk OUTTA THERE

AD, Kyrie, a washed up Klay and no PG. The caveat that they have to be healthy kinda proves my point, but even still I got the Lakers in that series. In the event the opposite happens yall can come back and quote and laugh at me, and I'll take the L. I just don't see it.
