It's wild, no one looks dominant right now at all.

That said, the Suns and Sixers are creating problems because they have players who can drop a ton of points on the other team. Will the Lakers offense take advantage in the same way?
High key...going to need Bron to be capable of putting up his usual highly efficient 30+ (at least for a couple games) to beat them imo. He can maybe get away with it vs the Warriors for a couple games cause they've been so bad on the road. Just dont know if the foot will allow it or not.

Crazy thing is if Bron was Bron and the Lakers somehow win the championship its very possible AD is the best player on the floor and he still doesnt win FMVP. Cause those a couple of bad offensive AD games would throw off his #s.

Nah, AD would have this in the bag even with his offensive numbers. Everyone sees what he's doing on defense. I don't think the Lakers are making the Finals, much less winning it, but if they win it'll be AD as the Finals MVP all the way unless he's bad on offense in literally every game or Bron suddenly becomes a 32-8-8 player again.

That's what I was implying. Pre-injury Bron would probably win FMVP even if AD was the best player in all 4 wins. Because the 2 bad games/losses from AD would hurt him.

If the Lakers get by the Warriors, they would be much better off facing the Suns and Sixers than the Nuggets and Celtics. What the Suns and Sixers are doing is not sustainable.
I’m taking my chances with Nuggets instead of Booker and KD. Booker pretty much owns our franchise and he’s on another level right now. Reaves is getting cooked by Klay, Booker would average 40 easy on us. Only upside is that their depth is worse than ours by a mile.

Well that and Ayton actually looks like a force vs the Lakers compared to other playoff teams.

You put Vando on Booker and start Rui and put him on KD

The Sixers and Suns are creating problems but LA is creating problems in a different way. I'm telling you bruh, this is an All-Time defense building right here, should they be able to continue this run and advance. They are deep and extremely flexible and versatile in how they can deploy their personnel...

Should the Lakers lose to anyone it will have been their offensive deficiencies that do them in, I agree with that. But this defense is gonna keep them in any series with anyone, this Laker defense will give any team issues!

Need Bron to find that pre-injury form. Only thing keeping this team from being a champion. Bron isnt scoring high 30s/low 40s to "save games". He's going to be need to be capable of saving a game vs those kinda teams. High key he might need to save this one cause they'll get the Warriors best effort.
