okc is barely keeping up with a mavs w/o healthy luka

Injured or not. Mavs have two superstars who are clutch

That’s a big difference compared to Lakers who relies on 39 year old Bron cuz AD can’t takeover consistently

Davis in the playoff series against Denver this year:

27.8 points a game
15.6 rebounds a game
4 assists per game
1.6 blocks per game

Lakers had to rely on 39 year old “Bron” though “cuz” AD cant takeover consistently?

Wow! I wish the Mavs had a bum like AD on the team

[The Laker Kid]

Sure, but why give Pockets another reason to stick around?

one without the other and lal is -15 wins either way. for meaningless context, thats lebron/ball/kuzma territory

lal relies on lbj more because he is ball dominant

He def played great but when I say takeover, i'm talking in the clutch. I didn't even see AD asking for the ball or barely getting any touches late in the 4th in several of those games.

When has Ad ever been considered a clutch player who takes over games?

Denver won the series because as a team they were more clutch or more efficient in the closing minutes of the games in comparison to LA. Especially Murray with 2 game winners in the series. Denver was clutch and LA wasnt. But Davis was great overall, especially his defensive presence.

That's on LeBron. It's who he handpicked as his Robin.

Likely but also sort of who cares because after seeing these playoffs I don't think the lakers would beat the Timberwolves or Mavericks.

Let’s say we just saw the 2-7 and 1-8 series as predicted.

Would LA have beaten Oklahoma City? Or not?

I would have said YUP before the playoffs started cause LAL has dominated OKC during the regular season based on matchup. However, I stated the same thing on the Suns sweeping Minny like pancakes based on their regular season sweep. It was basically a nightmare match-up but Minny sweep the Suns and made me look like a fool so I am not sure anymore.

Considering how OKC has played so well during this playoffs, OKC could have beat the Lakers as well cause SGA is unstoppable unless he chokes which he didn't. Nothing makes sense anymore based on match-ups Lol

[WemBA Time]

They shouldn't have lost the first round so we could find out.

[xb3at band1tx]

I have Lakers in 6 or 7 but wouldn't be shocked if it was in 5.

I don't think OKC had enough (at least this year) fire power or experience to handle Davis and LeBron who if you look at their numbers this year were borderline supernova against the champs in their 5 games. Guys like Giddey I think would've gotten exploited to all hell not to mention Chet while awesome is still a WIP and would've gotten shown up by AD.

Denver had firepower and the defense to withstand those laker duo games. They tried exploiting Murray and it would work for damn near 3 periods of a game but ultimately Denver as a team clutched it out.

Also I don't think this Mavs team is that great, they are athletic on defense but I don't really really trust their defense to be consistent, I think Lakers would've had the size to deal with Kyrie and slow Luka down

[bubonicphoniks]

Lakers fans lol always trying to stay relevant

[Handlez]

The Lakers championship...

Saying they'd beat all the teams they didn't play.

Oof.

I didnt say that but they wouldn't have beaten the Wolves. Ant man always chokes against Lebron. Dlo hates Gobert and would have made him look like a fool on the floor.

[MrGoat]

No guarantee. Sure Chet would've been BBQ chicken against AD but Denver got BBQed by AD and didn't pay for it. I don't think LA's perimeter defense could bother OKC's shooting the way Dallas did. That series very well may have ended with Lakers fans still being very grumpy at D'Angelo Russell

[Lalouie]

lebron's gone. get over it

take a step back.....ALL THE VETS OF THE PAST 15YRS ARE GONE

[CraftylikeaFox]

This thread is like modern day ESPN. Lakers are eliminated, but let's bring them up anyway.

[Godymas]

no, Chet is a fraction of the Lakers offense

SGA and JDub would carve them up, OKC would just play 5 out and stretch the hell out of LA's defense
