Well having a small ball at post season. . Isnt too bad. . Look at what houston rockets small ball on bubble playoffs. . they were in semi finals. . just that right now. . The lakers as constructed Roster wise is better version of that houston rockets small ball. . Especially with how clutch luka on closing games in playoffs

Lakers are just excited to have Luka, theyre winning. Mavs energy are just depressing after losing Luka.

If and when the Lakers play the Nuggets in the playoffs you can bet your 41K the Lakers will play with a get revenge mindset considering what happened in last years series.

They traded away a franchise player who had just led him team to the nba finals with possibly the best guard duo in the league .unreal and there explanation for this is unacceptable in dallas much to the displeasure of coach jason kidd .

Let’s just wait how this pan out. I also agree they can’t win it this season. But I don’t agree about the “pass”. The only team we’re worried about is that 3x MVP in Mile High and definitely OKC.
