They are one of the top 4 teams alongside celtics, bucks, and nuggets. After that, there is a next tier of teams.
Id out the lakers in that tier considering their off season moves and having a year together with their core. The nuggets won by like a total of 23 points in 4 games, hard for me not to add them but have denver in it.
Point differential is pretty meaningless in high level playoff games. It’s all about who commands the games, and the nuggets clearly did. The was a full on sweep, no need to sugar coat it.
Competitive games that came down to the fourth..I dont see them a tier above the lakers even last years team. Not sure how people r so butt hurt about that. The Moral victory saga lol. I was just saying the games were competitive lakers got better the nuggets stayed the same. How can you put the nuggets, suns, bucks all a tier over the lakers? Dosent make sense to me
AD is amazing but unfortunately fragile, Lebron is only top tier in short spurts at this stage, and the rest of the team is made up of wolves rejects and average players. They’re a good team, but a step down from the top tier.
They are better than they were last year with this new team? Considering the nuggets loss players..how r they that much better? That makes zero sense really. To consider the celtics, bucks, nuggets and suns in championship contender level but the lakers taking a back seat makes no sense. Even if the teams were the same last year the nuggets and lakers. Neither were significantly better than the other to garner one a tier above the other.
Are they really that much better than they were? They added cam reddish and christian wood, who are both best known for their negative contribution to winning, and gave vincent, who is likable but if we’re being honest has only been relevant for a few weeks of his career
