Obviously Doncic has played like an MVP. They did have an impressive win without Luka against the Pistons recently. I still want to see though how they do against the cream of the West. Believe it or not, they still haven't faced any of OKC/SAS/DEN/HOU/MIN so far. The only two Top-8 teams in the West they've played are Portland (twice) and GSW, and they split vs POR and lost to GSW.Well apparently I'll be sickened for the next 7 years or so as Doncic plays out his HOF career with the Lakers in a trade so stupid from the Mavericks perspective that it makes the JB trade look like a stroke of genius (which actually it may turn out to be). So the Lakers are off to a great start - all I can do is hope that that don't have what it will take to get them past the power teams in the West. Doncic is a great player, but I don?t think their roster is good enough to get past the Spurs or Thunder.Hope you're right - just having them in the hunt bugs me. I am not one of those who wants to see an LAL-Boston Finals. I don't want LAL anywhere near a championship. As far as the Thunder go - do you think they are a threat this year despite the injuries? Doncic is probably the best NBA player in the world right now. If Luka continues pouring 40-50 points a night, and with OKC being plagued with injuries, Lakers have a good chance at taking down OKC. They got better with Kessler, Sexton, and other depth they've acquired. Don't forget they got Austin Reaves who can play more freely without LeBron here now.They can also take down the Spurs too in probably 7 games. SAS might have that Finals runner-up hangover. Hate it but everything so far is lining up for them.Luka might be the best one way player in the NBA but he can't defend anyone...exactly. if LA gets to the finals, bank on whoever's coaching the East team to follow Boston's strategy in the Finals of going at Luka constantly and making him play D or giving up lots of points while avoiding any fouls to stay in the game.
