Why are people assuming LAL get past LAC, Denver, Utah or even Phoenix?

I mean, an injury can happen lol.

If you mean if both teams are fully healthy, sure I'd give you that the Nets should win but you can't ever count a team with AD and Lebron out.

Are the Nets better at anything?

Nets with a better starting 5.

What about 3-point shooting?
What about offence?
What about assists?

I can bet you the Nets will be better at getting to 16 wins in the post season and the Lakers will not.

That's all that matters.

Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself? :lol:

The Nets are a really good team and they're playing well in the regular season but acting like the Lakers should cower in fear is ridiculous.

I don't. I have Denver vs Phoenix in the western conference finals.

Nobody healthy Nets. If Nets have Spencer it's a WRAP!

The Lakers are better than all of those teams and match up favorably with them. The only real threat is Denver. I'd recommend people stop overvaluing the regular season.

I agree the Lakers may be better, but I just don't think the Lakers' health will be at 100%, thus I do not believe they will make the conference finals.

Just my opinion.

I get the nuggets love and think they got a legit shot at the finals, but I’d be shocked if the suns could beat either the lakers or clippers. Maybe if both of them end up on the other side of he bracket and both lose before seeing the suns, but that’s pretty doubtful

KD, Irving and Harden each have track records of either actually be injured in the postseason or otherwise collapsing.

That's not a given, of course. Durant and Irving have both shined in the Finals. But the Nets aren't a lock or even a near-lock for anything.

People were saying the same about the Clippers beating the Lakers last year.

They ended up not even playing each other in the Playoffs.

The Playoffs are completely different than the regular season. See last years Bucks.

We can talk probabilities, but to say “X or Z WILL happen” is silly.

If you believe the projections, the Lakers will be all available by playoff time. Maybe they don't have enough time to jell altogether, but that's a separate concern. I don't know why you'd think the Lakers won't be fully healthy but would have confidence in, say, the Nets being fully healthy.

I think LeBron will be fine, but I don't have confidence with Anthony Davis' Achilles injury.

But if there’s anyone who can do the unthinkable is LBJ

He’s done the unthinkable 3 times and won the title as the underdog so you can bet on him

Only Dirk did it , but he only did it one season.

Titles won as underdog
1. 3 LBJ
2. 1 Dirk

What 3 unthinkable things did he do?

No one is beating the Nets they are absolutely stacked in every way. Actually never seen a team with this much talent.

I agree. No one is beating a healthy Nets team.
