Do people really think the Lakers will beat the Clippers?

[StrongLurk]

I don't see how the Clips aren't the clear favorite out West. If they match up with Lakers, Clips are gonna go up 2-1 or 3-1 in the Series and the Lakers will have to pull of an incredible comeback to win.

[AirBonner]

I don’t see how anyone will beat the Rockets

[Axe]

I'm not sure if anyone can beat the Thunder in the playoffs.

[ClipperRevival]

Put in like $80 pre-season for Clips to win it all at like +900 odds.

Right now, Lakers/Bucks are both like at +225 and Clips at +350. I'm thinking about putting in some good money on the Clips. They match up so well with the Lakers and i don't have any faith in playoff Giannis. Clips got the roster to win it all.

[red1]

the clippers are the favorites because they have a roster full of hungry savages and because they've been playing their cards right resting their players the way they "should" assuming the only goal is to win the title


you cant count out lebron and anthony davis - it doesnt matter if lebron is old or if AD is injury prone or if the rest of the roster was filled out in one week this summer - they just have to turn up for three series and thats something they can do

What the hell was wrong with what he said? What are you unsure he was serious about?

This. Only team that can beat the Rockets are the Knicks. And they won't see them till the Finals.

never try to correct me again you dumbass jeremy lin stan


lou will
kawhi
beverly
harrell

then you toss in another guy who is starving for a ring like paul george


if you watched them play last year you would know they have heart and were just missing an offensive piece - and since then they added two of the best perimeter players in the league...

[red1]

the lakers have the best duo in the NBA but after that who do they have? danny green? he's not worth 15 mill. kuzma? he's not a true third option.


in the playoffs you need MULTIPLE guys who can score and create for themselves. clippers have 3 guys who can do that at an elite level. you're kidding yourself if you don't think lou williams will be daggering teams in the playoffs meanwhile the lakers cant do SHIT without AD scoring or lebron spoonfeeding everyone for dunks and open shots.

Question will be about if Lebron and AD go into another stratosphere of play vs what Kawahi and PG are able to do. Also, if the length of the team can bother them coinciding with their defense and finally if different role players can step up on different nights. If those things come together correctly, they most certainly can win. The question is if those factors can coalesce at the right time.

[Stanley Kobrick]

I have Jazz winning it all

kawhi and PG dont have to be as good as AD and lebron will have to be because unlike the latter they have a much better supporting with prior chemistry and coaching intact.


Id take lebron and AD over PG and kawhi hands down so we'll see if they can give us a great series. I want 6 or 7 games at least.

[ronniec]

I believe the Lakers do have a chance, if the rigged referees want to do so

[lakerstekkenn]

We have to see the Lakers in full playoff defense and offensive mode before we start our judgment on if the Lakers can beat the Clippers or vise versa because these teams tend to cruise and hide their offensive systems and defense but come playoff time James and Davis will play more minutes and play on the playoff level otherwise were looking at fools gold.

Edgy, even with the broken English

[LostCause]

I think it’s the other way around until the Clippers show otherwise

You mean besides beating the Lakers twice?

[superduper]

It's Kawhi's chip contingent on reff rigging for Bran.

[ClipperRevival]

Just put down $100 at (+325) to win $325 on the Clips.

Lakers currently co-favs with Bucks according to Vegas. If Bron doesn't win a ring this year, another stain on his legacy. Ouchee.

Clippers are CLEAR favorites this year

Legacy you say? But the lakers during the 2000s and one in 2010 under Kobe's teams have won a total of five rings before lbj even won his first ring.
