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.

They should get past the 1st round first ..
@Gho8tAxiom
November 19, 2025 at 7:48 pm
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…
@rackball5858
November 19, 2025 at 8:22 pm
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? 🤦
