Wakers. 😬😬😬🤷🏽♂️🙏🏽🤜🏽✌🏽
I like how they act like wiggins isn’t our second best scorer and our defense 💀
Lakers in 5
Asking Stephen A to pick between the Warriors and any other team is like asking Steph whether he prefers shooting 3s or dunking
Stephen A first take hit the nail on the head
The Warriors of 2022-23 are going out of the playoffs early, too many turnovers and no rim protection just like the entire season.
Neither one. 🏀
Neither.
“ don’t do that around me” brooo what rj gonna do 🤔🤔🤣🤣
Only 3 top teams Lakers played 8n the last 20 games and everyone thinks they are the favorite its soooooooooo ridiculous 😅😅😅😅😅
Warriors
What is RJ wearing ?! 😂
Stephan A dropped that one. He didn't think about the question. "More dangerous " not who his pick is (which is HIS and stubbornly so). He knew after RJ started talking, that the Lakers are more dangerous.
Stopped tha Lakers in the finals
Richard Jefferson and Chiney are talking over Smith's head, he never played for a reason. Instead of listening to 2 former pros he wants to THINK his non playing expertise is on point lol, listen and learn
Fakers. That's how pathetic the Warriors are.
Keep sleeping on the warriors for everyone in the comments
Phoenix vs the Warriors or Lakers would be the biggest first round easily.
Give me the Warriors all day everyday in the playoffs. 🤷🏽♂️Idc
The most dangerous is the one that the media and refs favors
Idk how this is even a question , playoff steph curry himself is dangerous and all the nba teams know that
If the lakers lost to the nuggets with no jokic they’d be saying 1st round exit for lakers
Both are equally overrated and horrible this year.
Lakers win a few games in a row and all of a sudden they better than the defending champs… y’all will see when Wiggs is back
Wiggins is coming back.🏆🏆🏆
Wiggins is back it’s still Lakers in 7
If Lakers are healthy then they will championship this year.
Shanae I love yu girl❤❤❤❤
AD is the soul of the lakers
I'm interested in finding out who ends up going against Miami in the East. They're gonna have a tough series.
Lakers better, it’s not even close
Andrew Wiggins Back so keep that same energy and wat contenders have the lakers beaten
I had Lakers but just heard Wiggins will return possibly tomorrow.
RJ’s playing idiot today. You’re gonna tell me, that you’re judging the MF WORLD CHAMPS, on their REGULAR SEASON WOES?
Bro, just say you’re LBJ Stan and stop trying to sound unbiased.
SAS' mind: "Cannot process substantial facts and arguments. Must say generic statements that get attention"
AD cooks jokic everytime and warriors lost to Denver without him🤔 wait was the question again?
If Lakers will beat Suns and Clippers in their Last 3 Games, then LAKERS will be super dangerous. Not only that they are dangerous, it's almost a 90% Championship.
As a Lakers fan, I fear GSW as much as I do PHX, BOS, & MIL. Warriors have been there—idgaf about the road woes—they have championship experience and get Wiggins back 4/4.
Stephen A just say you’re a bigger fan of The Warriors
I mean, sooner or later AD will get hurt
Realistically though, really, the lakers?
Stephen A actually doesn't watch the NBA 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with Stephen A
