Mad Dog is overlooking Smart and LaRavia.

Thank you MAD DOG for always being honest….They will NOT win a title this season. Period. End of story.

Why are we talking about last season? When Lakers finally have a legit good starting center who can score 20 and 10. A healthy Luka, smart, Laravia, etc. Last I checked Lakers have cooked timberwolves both times they’ve played them and that was WITHOUT LEBRON and others who were out. Cope

The irony is the Lakers were 11-4 when Kobe came back from a broken hand and had to “fit in”.

The ceiling for the Lakers is fair. LeBron solidifies their starting five so he doesn’t have to be their best player. I have concerns about their bench as well as teams like the Wolves, Rockets, Warriors, Nuggets, and Thunder. It’s November. Let’s see them win a playoff series before we crown anyone.

The team ain’t getting out the first round. They have proven nothing the last 4 years

OKC is good, but let’s not pretend they haven’t had probably the easiest schedule thus far. They played the Rockets first game and didn’t play another team above .500 until 7 games later. To quote the legend:
Their schedule has been “as soft as charmin” thus far…

You’d have a point if they hadn’t already won 68 games last season. Let me guess? All 82 games last year were an easy schedule? 🤦
