Lakers at full strength are still the Favorite!

[Kingwillball]

If that’s IF they can get and keep everyone healthy they are the favorite. Haters keep on hating.

[light]

No question. LeBron James with the #1 defense is not going to be beat.

[kawhileonard2]

Lebron is always beaten. Let's not get crazy. Lost several years as the favorite and preseason favorite as well against far inferior teams.

Not Lebron with Anthony Davis and the #1 defense. That has yet to be beaten. I won't believe it til I see it. Neither will you.

And, btw Kawhi, the last time Lebron lost to his conference was over a decade ago.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Yeah of course, they have big three(Lebron, Davis and Drummond) and two sixth men of the year caliber players(Shroder and Harrell), as well as solid role players who can start on other teams(Kuzma and Pope). The Lakers were pre-season favorites and continued to be favorites after Harden trade, this is ring or bust for them and no excuse if they dont win it all.

Lmao you really think kuzma is a reliable role player? That scrub is known for being a liability on defense. :oldlol:

He averaged 18ppg in his best season, and Frank Vogel's system can turn lead into gold when it comes to defense.

I think this should be the year where lebron finally ties Kobe's ring count.
