So as of November 8th, there's good news and bad news.
Good news is the Celts are 6-1
Bad news is the Lakers are 6-1 and may end up being really, really good.
What worries me about them is they have size and perimeter shooting.
Lebron, AD, Howard, Danny Green, Kuzma, etc.
Here's hoping they tail off (because I hate Lebron, Anthony Davis for not wanting Boston and so the Lakers don't tie us in banners.)
I continue to be skeptical that a team of Bron, Davis, and a bunch of role players who didn't play together last year is going to seriously contend for the title.
They're better than I expected them to be at this point in the season.
I think it's fair to expect them to run into some injury issues sooner or later, though, given the age and mileage on pretty much all of their key players.
Yeah, but it's fairly obvious they are not the 5th or 6th seed in the West some thought. It turns out that proven vets like Avery Bradley, Danny Green, Dwight Howard, Jared Dudley and KCP can add a lot to a team, even as role players. Plus you have Kuzma, who should prove to be a major plus once back fully healthy and Rondo, who adds a bunch more to that team once he returns.
In that thread wondering what people thought about the Lakers, I said I thought top 2 in the West. I didn't think people were giving the role player/complimentary parts on the Lakers enough credit. Most of those guys are proven ballers.
