@@Trap323a they need to avoid the play in so 7th is a no. Honestly the Lakers should be seeded higher because the refs stole 2 or 3 games from the Lakers this season. The big one was the no call on Lebron against the Celtics. AD need to at least play 20 to 25 minutes tonight and get ready for the Clippers next game.
BUMP that. We could get the 5th. Gone and knock kd and the suns out in the 1st round get it out the way our momentum is crazy. After that only team Im worried about is Celtics
Lol. Lookin at thus video is why I don't believe advocates for women's sports can only go so far. ESPN is sensitive to the discourse on Angel Reese, how they gon take Stephen A yelling at these women?!!
Has anyone thought of the possibility that because of the LeBron Wade relationship that Ainge may have been pressed to pull off the Lakers Jazz trade...hmmmm 😅😅😮
EXACTLY. I'm so tired of these ESPN dudes pretending every fake Superteam KD joins is the 2017 Warriors. What on earth has he done since that Warriors team to earn this Final Boss status? It's ridiculous! This team has like zero depth and relies on inefficient jump shots. Of course they can be beaten. Lol.
@@Kuzamer suns are heavy favorites for a reason they were the best team in the west even before kd got there and he’s probably still the best player in the league
For once windy managed to give the “team credit” and mentioned they did the work while bron was out with injury. Now brons back. Very impressive windy ..
This was the perfect commentary I’ve beens saying what both of these guys said…….. TEAMS WILL MANIPULATE FOR SIX SEED…the lakers have to win to even have a chance because teams will try to box them out
It’s not even set in stone the kings are the 3rd seed they could move up to two grizzles have some hard games left not sure who has the tiebreaker though
I completely agree with Stephen a Smith that AD better play. This game against clippers make or break moment for the lakers. They have got the win against jazz but with AD struggling, i don't at what shape he will be in this game against clippers.
I don't believe AD can sustain this performance too, that's too much to ask from him. Lakers depth needs to stand up every game for them to pull this up.
Windhorst ignoring that the lakers were a number 1 rated defense while AD and Lebron were injured in 2021, if bron and ad we’re healthy we would have won that suns series… 2-1 before AD went down.
AD made an agreement with lebron with that last back to back...."if you let me sit out these, i'll do the back to back at the end of the regular season."
The teams advancing beyond the 1st round: Bucks, Celtics, Sixers, Cavaliers, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, and Suns. Bye to the Hawks, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Kings, and my sorry af Clippers. The Grizzlies-Warriors is 50-50, but Dubs got Wiggins back. Parlay those 8 teams I mentioned passing the 1st round + possible Derby winners like Forte, Practical Move, Mage, Kingsbarns, and Angel of Empire. Throw in a 50-1 to 80-1 long shot just in case another Rich Strike strikes again. 1) Nuggets vs. 8) Pelicans 2) Grizzlies vs. 7) Warriors 3) Kings vs. 6) Lakers 4) Suns vs. 5) Clippers WCF Suns vs. Lakers. Lakers will win it. 1) Bucks vs. 8) Hawks 2) Celtics vs. 7) Heat 3) Sixers vs. 6) Nets 4) Cavaliers vs. 5) Knicks ECF Bucks over Sixers in 7. If Celtics beat Sixers in the semis, I still have Bucks. Finals Lakers over Bucks in 6. Lakers are winning it all. Lakers are winning it all. Lakers are winning it all. Repeat that 18 times and LeBron is the GOAT. I already answered the questions the media will keep asking for the next 100 years... Best 1st round matchups Grizzlies vs. Warriors Cavaliers vs. Knicks The Suns vs. Clippers would be the best in any other year but Paul George is gone. He's a slow healer. Who wouldn't want to see KD vs. Kawhi. My Flippers will always have their PG injury excuse like they had a Kawhi injury excuse last year. And Westbrick will be our scapegoat. Suns should beat my Clippers in 5 or 6. We don't stand a chance. While Lakers rank top 3 in DEFENSE post all star, we rank 22nd. We don't play defense enough to win games against good teams. Kawhi and Paul George together was really a waste of money and time. Played 112 games together after 4 years. If Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors all tie with the same exact record, Clippers will get Suns, Lakers will get Kings which they've targeted for months according to Windhorst, and Warriors will get Grizzlies. Clippers' luck to own the tiebreakers over the Lakers and Warriors only to get Suns in the 1st round. 🤣 Stupid af FO for trading Reggie and Kennard and getting much worse with the crappy haul we got like adding a vampire like Westbrick. Fire Lue and Lawrence Frank already. Trade Paul George. Trade him to the Lakers for Austin Reaves and let him man crush Kobe all day. Trash franchise.
Lol. When the Lakers were up 2-1 and leading in Game 4, the Suns were OBVIOUSLY the inferior team. Stop it windy lol. Not to mention, the narrative at the time was that the Lakers had an easy path to the finals with the Suns, and then Nuggets in the second round. People said that AD/Bron weren’t really hurt that season and we’re just resting since we didn’t rest after winning the title. Revisionist history I tell ya lol
Lakers' remaining games @ Utah: W Clippers: W Phoenix: W (Phx on a B2B) Utah: W 44-38 Warriors Oklahoma City: W @ Sacramento: L @ Portland: W 43-39 Clippers Lakers: L Portland: W @ Phoenix: L 42-40 The scary thing for my Clippers is they can either be 6th or as low as 9th since they don't hold tiebreakers against Pelicans, Thunder, and Timberwolves in case they go 42-40. It's going to be so funny tomorrow night watching the Clippers and Lakers trying to lose that game..🤣 I expect LeBron, AD, and Kawhi will sit out. I think Lue needs to sit out Russ too. Do not win tomorrow's game against the Lakers. Let them get Phoenix in the 1st round. Take your chances falling to 6th. Clippers would need to win 43 as they do hold the tiebreaker over the Warriors. Try to beat Phoenix on Easter Sunday.
🤣 you actually believe the Lakers will try to lose. You’re one confused being. That’s the Clippers MO. They did it back in 2021 ducking to play the Lakers in the first round
I mean if they get hot early and get like a 20+ point lead. Hold it until the 3rd quarter. Then you can rest the stars for the entire 4th. But they gotta get hot early.
Doesn't matter who comes out of the west none of them will beat the bucks or Boston in a 7 game series in the finals. Those two teams are on a mission.
We shouldn't expect AD to do anything, especially risking his health by playing a back to back game. The Lakers will make it to the post season no matter what, but I do think they will loose to the Clippers tomorrow. AD and LeBron should not play back to back games. Never risk the health of your super stars, AD doesn't deserve to risk injury. It is better to be healthy in the play-in than be injured and avoid the play-in.
I’d love to see A.D play elsewhere and get out of the shadow of Lebron and that intense media cycle out there. I think he’d flourish as the man again in a place where there is steady point guard play, perimeter shooting and a solid head coach. In the East, I’d love to see him in Atlanta. Out west, I think he’d look great with the Kings.
