Despite the obvious, maybe all time offensive firepower they’ve assembled, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there is no chance in hell we see them making noise past the first or second round. Curious to hear the counter arguments, if that’s how you really feel.

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.

lmao so the team that got swept is equal to the team that swept them? The Nuggets won by an average of 6 points a game, which was pretty much the exact Vegas spread for the Nuggets home games. Had the Lakers won game 4 and then Denver blew them out by 30 in game 5, that's still a worse outcome for Denver than the sweep even if the average margin would've been way up.

Oh no denver is better, but considering how close the games were and the additions they made. Its hard to put denver in a tier above them? Not entirely sure how we can do that after watching those games. The lakers are def better than they were last year. I would put the bucks, celtics, Nuggets, suns and lakers in the same tier.
