[mr. dee]

Lakers in 5 😪😪😪😪..dang Clippers & Bucks

Our team was the rest of the league's last hope but we also blew it.

We had less of a chance then Miami, as evidenced by them beating us pretty soundly?
Lakers in 4 maybe 5

When they play disciplined basketball, they were blewing out the Heat. But when they panic and start taking ill advised 3 pointers? It's not even a question

We have the talent but maybe not the combination of IQ, experience and heart. I sawTatum just standing around the rim getting out hustled instead of boxing out.

We were lucky to win 2 games against the heat.. they are simply better whether it be because of discipline or whatever they have a better chance against the Lakers then us.

Lakers in 5.

Too much size. Adebayo is a good player but AD is bigger/longer. Plus, Lakers have the ultimate zone buster in Lebron and Rondo.

Heat in 7

They’ve gone 4-0, 4-1 and now 4-2. They’re destined to win 4-3

Only way is if Robinson, Herro, Dragic all go god mode in 3s. Adebayo neutralizes AD.

It is possible... but cant see it happen

Lakers also have Dwight who is going to try to teach Bam a lesson.

Rondo will find a way around the zone

Caruso is so annoying. He will probably be drapped all over Herro and Dragic.

Lakers in 5.

I do not trust Jimmy Butler to show up against LeBron.

Because he cant. Lebron will just bully him. On both ends

[wiley]

Lebron, AD, Rondo....big 3.

Lakers in 6.

Caruso and KCP will stay draped on Herro and Robinson even more so for fear of the King.

Lebron can be limited somewhat at certain moments, but he can just sit back and pass in that case...

It will take an injury to one of the Laker's big three for Miami to have a chance.

I think Miami will take two games due to hustle, fight, grit, and the Lakers letting up at the wrong moments.

After seeing what Bam did to the Celts, I'm confused why anybody would think the Celts would have had a chance against the Lakers.

I feel like because the Lakers shooters and off-ball movement is leagues worse than Miami's you can focus more on packing the paint, but they also have a significantly better playmaking wing in LeBron (compared to Butler) and AD is a much more talented scorer than Bam. Theis would be fouling out in the first half and Timelord would have been baptised by fire.

Don't get me started on Kanter..

My prediction;
-Bam will foul out at least 2 of the games
-LeBron won’t be called for offensive fouls
-Heat will be in the penalty every single 4th quarter
-AD will be allowed to “over the back” rebounding without  being called for a foul.

....the league will do whatever it takes to get the Lakers an advantage.

Maybe Jimmy Butler will pay them back by doing one of his cheap undercuts on a fast-break layup to LeBron.
