Are the real Lakers going to "show up" and go deep in the playoffs?

**BigOrange** · 03-31-23, 01:39 PM

No they are old and shitty!

**Hugh Madbrough** · 03-31-23, 02:06 PM

Even if they don't. The refs will give them 40+ free throws a game.

**gauchojake** · 03-31-23, 07:05 PM

I grabbed a small future on them a while back. No idea what the price is now but I got +2200 or something at the time. They could make a run.

Don't believe the hype

Agree. Refs will save them but they lose to fast backcourts. I was convinced they would rather play the grizz than den but again they lose to fast backcourts and grizz seem to win games even when ja doesnt show up/doesnt play, like today vs the clips. Clippers are another team ive yet to be sold on and with pg out they are that much worse off. LA is purely hype right now, cant bet that.

**ThaTopMoron** · 03-31-23, 10:13 PM

they are a lot better than last year but...

both guys are injuries waiting to happen

they could shock the nuggets tho... the nuggets played their best ball a long time ago and they give up a ton of paint points and can get suckered into shooting 45 3's in playoff games

**lakerboy** · 03-31-23, 10:27 PM

It all depends on who they play first. The West isn't that great.

**johnnyvegas13** · 03-31-23, 11:25 PM

No but what about the dubs getting Wiggins back ...

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 03-31-23, 11:45 PM

Bill Simmons said lebron to Dallas maybe

**Snowball** · 04-01-23, 08:13 AM

Big win over the Wolves last night.
Easy schedule on tap. Should go 3 or 4/5

No way !!! they are not strong enough

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-01-23, 01:18 PM

Every yr since they won the ship we get theses threads

**RunBookRun** · 04-02-23, 02:51 AM

No. No one wants to see that anyways. LeBron has already appeared in last Finals, even alongside Kyrie next year, though he would make Lakers much better.

**blankoblanco** · 04-02-23, 03:07 AM

It's the same as the people who thought Brady magic might strike again and take the Bucs to another Super Bowl when the '22-'23 team was clearly mediocre as shit

Lebron is a legend, doesn't magically change the fact that he's past his prime and the Lakers aren't that good

Ok Tom Brady

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-02-23, 07:26 AM

They will make the playoffs but lose first rd

same as brady

**klemopixx** · 04-02-23, 07:48 AM

Stop it. To win an NBA Championship you have to be either an incredible defensive team or shoot an absurd amount of threes. The Lakers are neither.

**IBetYou** · 04-02-23, 09:25 AM

Ingram might be America's best player these days... maybe not as tough on defense as Tatum but more reliable offensively. I can't remember who they traded him for -needless to say not great returns on that sale!

He's 26yo!

Top 4 defense last 15 games. Basically since the Westbrook trade.

**JIBBBY** · 04-02-23, 10:48 AM

Lakers are finally playing above .500 ball in the standings. Can thank the refs for blowing the whistle for that!

Anything is possible now!

**spippen** · 04-03-23, 09:27 AM

I would love to see them get blown out each game. It is very possible. The crooked refs will help them out. Hopefully it will not matter and they still get mopped up badly by whoever it is that they play.

**Enkhbat** · 04-03-23, 09:30 AM

If anyone gets injured they have no chance, I could see them getting into the 2nd round but that is it.

Going to bang it when I'm in AZ

**marcoloco** · 04-03-23, 12:17 PM

refs will help

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-03-23, 01:10 PM

What about the dubs

u know the team who just won it all

**thezbar** · 04-03-23, 01:30 PM

I have season total over 43.5. After the 2/10 start I'm fortunate to still have a shot at cashing. I also took a flyer on A.D. for defensive player of the year at 16/1. Won't happen but at the price I figured it was worthy of a try.
The Lakers have talent. If they can D up and the cards fall right they could be dangerous.

**IBetYou** · 04-03-23, 05:43 PM

Takes a month off work, still gets paid his millions, probably gets a hero's welcome.
