lakers

why aren't lakers living to their full potential. Rob Pelinka did a good job of picking interesting pieces to make it wholesome team. Pre-season games were bad and will this continue into regular season. Come on Lakers we need to win games and become a formidable force again. AD and LBJ !!!

It’s pre-season bro. Won’t read too much into it.

Lakers not a legit title contender by a mile though. Almost every contender from last year got better. Lakers players get hyped much more making us think they got a strong squad.

Yeah giving a false sense of hope in me every time they play

Disagree. 2023 season, Lakers are a much balanced team with exp and new guys. Jaxson Hayes is probably one of the best players brought in for a 2nd center, as a replacement for ad if he gets injured or as a sub.

Austin Reeves was top of his game during the Olympics and he's getting better. A LOT of help now for LBJ than before, both in defence (crashing boards) and offence (post) with Rui, jaxson etc.

PS: I'm excited to see bucks with dame and giannis though. Hope it lives up to its hype

Who are you picking as your title favourite? Celtics, Bucks and Nuggets look ahead of the pack. Personally biased towards Warriors.

I’ll go with Celtics man they are a solid team but during the finals., they keep losing games. Tatum, a good one along with Brown and their defensive line is much better than other teams but chokers..
