Lakers might not make playoffs :(
If the young Lakers don’t get their minds right they ain’t going to the playoffs and LeBron and Management is gonna be pissed off. Luke will be fired and the core young guys broken up — which haven’t done much the past couple of seasons anyway.
I think that sometimes Magic puts to much on the young core. Yes I wanted Anthony Davis too, but there were others we could’ve got. We could’ve got Kanter from NY, Marc Gasol or even Mike Conley from the Grizzlies. What about Tobias Harris from the Clippers? Philly came up on that one! The East is looking good!
We got Reggie Bullock and that’s cool, but I think that this “young core” can’t seem to win consistently. They’ve done nothing over the past few years to make me think they’re all of a sudden they’re gonna get better. Like Shaq said, they got to get their minds right — the right attitude. They could still make the playoffs if they really want to. After All-Star break we will find out who the real fighters are on the team and whoever doesn’t show aggression should be shipped to Phoenix or NY.
I don’t even have a problem matching up with the Warriors in the first round. Yes we might get demolished or not…anything can happen when that competitive nature kicks in. But right now I don’t see any fire and I guess I wouldn’t because I don’t watch the games only the highlights and the stats. The stats tell me a lot, but some would say you gotta watch the game — no I don’t.
I really hope the Lakers make the playoff’s for the experience and for LeBron to keep his record of going to the playoff’s.
West
1. Warriors
2. Thunder
3. Nuggets
4. Trail Blazers (these guys are fighters)
5. San Antonio
6. Houston (6th only because Harden might run out of fuel)
7. Utah
8. Lakers or Clippers
East
1. Raptors
2. Bucks
3. Philly
4. Indiana
5. Boston (5th only because Kyrie keeps having knee problems)
6. Brooklyn
7. Miami
8. Hornets or Pistons
West takes home the prize, but not so sure it will be the Warriors!
That’s all I got!
