Will the Lakers make the play-in? Currently the 9th seed : LeBron is back

Well that was quick

Denver is fool's gold. The Lakers will whoop their ass. These Lakers, the pre-trade Lakers were trash.

I feel the same way. Nuggets will be out in the second round again.

My only concern with us is AD. It's sad that we're always thinking "When is he going to go down again?".

I tried to tell nikkas


Vanderbilt is the x factor

And the jazz gave him away for free. Collusion?

You do realize they're winning on the strength of guys they picked up at the trade deadline, right? Once Bron comes back it'll be the first time in two years that he's had a complete roster to work with.

They're getting pretty lucky with their schedule too. So far the wins have been against Warriors no Steph or Wiggins, Mavs no Luka, Thunder no Shai, Warriors at home no Wiggins, Memphis at home no Ja, and Toronto at home. Their losses were to New York, to Portland, to the Timberwolves with no KAT, and to Memphis before Ja got suspended.

AD's body aint holding up over a playoff schedule. Neither is Bron's.

Doesn’t matter if they play Denverfirst round.

Denver for sure isn’t beating LA though. And if they lose in the first round, again, especially after this year, I don’t wanna hear about Jokic and his stat padding ever again.

 

[MJ Truth]

I don’t think you all will make it.

Denver is the best team and Memphis can be a threat if Ja isn’t cosplaying gangster and Phoenix has Durant, but also Chris Paul.

But I think Lakers are better than the rest of the west.

Denver is the best regular season team but in the playoffs Jokic (or Porter) is just gonna isolated on to Russell or Bron or Davis for six games. Denver isn’t beating LA.

Love the confidence.

But Denver is not losing the LAL at any playoff stage.

We haven’t faced Mavs without Luka. We also played OKC with no AD when we beat them. We lost to OKC with AD and Bron to put that into perspective. This dude said Warriors at home with no Wiggins. This screams downplaying their recent success because Bron is out.

Lakers matchup really well against Denver. AD gives him that work consistently. And he's not good on defense against the Lakers. Even with that team before the trade deadline the nuggets lost to them
