You nikkas is missing the #1 reason the Lakers will be much better than anyone believes this year

[Draje]

kobe coming back soon and the team is above .500

my prediction ain't lookin too bad

and outside of San Antonio and maybe OKC, the West looks wide open this year......I think we can beat everyone else

Golden State and the Rockets would literally crap all over you.

Iggy and Thompson can take turns on Kobe, you have no reliable answer for Dwight or Lee, and Harden embarrassed Kobe when they last

I want y'all to make the finals though to see the absurd biggest finals beat down we've seen since AI went against Kobe and Shaq. The Heat would literally embarrass the entire Laker nation.

You mean two teams that the Lakers are a combined 2-1 against without Kobe?

I see a lot of hurt feelings in this thread already.

 

[Jplaya2023]

lakers are better off getting a high draft pick

ohhhhhhhhh the Golden State we blew out? Only time they beat us was when we were on a back to back without 2 starters. But yea those Rockets would shyt on us except for the game where we won on the road by 1 despite the refs getting in our ass. Makes a lot of sense. We were also without our best player that game.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

The lakers would currently be the #3 seed if they were in the east

 

[YourMajesty]

Lakers would be 3rd seed in the east without kobe lol

 

[Draje]

Aww, that's cute. Laker stans think regular season success matters in a 7 game playoff series for two teams who aren't going to really start trying until All-Star break because they don't want to risk injuries.

Not only that but they don't realize Kobe coming back and demanding the majority of touches is gonna knock your three point shooters out of rythym

your seriously gonna say you guys blew them out when they were blowing LA out by like 40 the second game of the season. They had no curry either the second game, and iggy left in the third.

 

[Higher Tech]

I don't think they're contenders, but I like the way they look this year. Henry is showing his ass, I thought he was gonna be a bust in Memphis.

So Kobe was playing in those games? I musta missed him.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Even with a healthy Kobe and all these dudes playing for contracts, we are still one piece away from being a legit title contender.

Yup ya'll are one piece away like Bleek was one hit away.

[Da_Eggman]

I thought the reason was that the season is a race and the Lakers are going to be finished first

I see what you did there
