By health do you mean able to take the floor, or as in no ailments? Because we know damn well the latter isn't a reality.

Lakers aren't doing shyt against a younger, more spirited and cohesive unit like the Grizzlies. Over the course of a series, the Lakers' age, wear-and-tear and lack of consistency will be their undoing. They're not walking into FedExForum and taking multiple games off Memphis. It's just not happening. As strange as it may sound, the Lakers' best hope would've been drawing a team like the Suns in the 1st round, one that is similar in age and pace, and not a young, hungry team who has playoff experience like the Grizzlies.

East play-in teams are fukked.

West's looks interesting, I can see Minny going up against the Grizz and Lakers vs. Nuggets.

West playoffs in general are going to be fire.

Is Bench Simmons actually suiting up to play vs. Philly a whole playoff series though?

Yeah fam. I think game 7 will be a classic between Mitchell and Brunson back and forth, but I feel that either Randle or Barrett will take 2-3 bad 4th quarter shots not wanting to be out the spotlight, and we will lose a close one on the road. I hope Im wrong though.

By health, I mean Bron and AD able to play every game. One of the Lakers biggest advantages will be their experience. Bron will slow the game down and pick the Grizzlies apart. Young teams like the Grizzlies struggle when the game slows down and it becomes more half court offense.

Who guarding Bron and AD, especially with all the spacing they have with post-trade deadline shooters? If this were the pre-deadline Lakers with Russ, I'd agree. And the game is going to slowdown, making it easier to contain Ja.

He might as well be. Breh looks as bloated as Barkley.
