Yes
Yeah they're threats, wanna see how the new squad matches up with OKC, since Chet and Hartenstein should give their bigs trouble.
But the experience factor will also play a huge part with Bron/Luka.
It'll prolly come down to can the Lakers 4-8 or 9 keep them afloat, we know Bron/Luka/Reaves will play well.

Yes, if their defense keeps up
Vando, DFS, Gabe, and Lebron are playing good/elite level defense
Their are so big on the perimeter that they are able to double the opposing big man and able to recover incredibly fast
Luka and Bron haven’t even played well together yet
Luka/Lebron/Reaves is a CRAZY big 3… you can have 2 of those guys on the floor at all times potentially. Add in that once that becomes the norm, they will try and trap or double Luka and Rui is now eating lol
The potential for this offense is crazy

Would get 4-1'd by Bos/Cle

Yes. Would feel better if they had another athletic big on the roster but it is what it is
You’ve got the two best players, possibly all time (Luka is for sure in the top five though), at controlling pace in playoff settings on the same squad. It’s gonna be hard to beat them in a series.
They don’t really have a legitimate center rotation but they are big (
) as fukk on the wings, so there’s that. They’re definitely getting cooked by whatever shifty guards they run into though, but I’m always willing to bet on Bron figuring out a way to win as long as his team is relatively in the same space talent wise.

They got to the Western conference finals with day to davis. And this squad is improved in every way.
They are threats for sure. The lack of size in the middle might come back to haunt them this season though. They shore that up this offseason and if Bron doesn't get old overnight they might start next season as the faves. STILL wouldn't write Bron and Luka off in a 7 game series THIS season though against anyone.
We are. My only fear is OKC, especially when Chet starts to get comfortable again.
