Tier B – Suns, GS, Clippers,
Tier C – NO, Mavs,
Lakers need to play vando to shut down Murray..then have lebron, reaves, AD (another shooter Prince, Gabe, Wood) so this time we have guys that can make shots, playing dlo will crushed us.
Sean, you didn't oversleep lol
I think were 3rd in the west.
Denver is 1st obv. Suns are 2nd for me, yes we made the WCF but they took 2 games off DEN. We got swept (closely) so yeah its not a forgone thing that were coming out the west
This man is the Jason Macintyre of LN. Good lord man
trevor hoax lane alreadi dyd a video on this. LEbowlinball an tube socks are styll on the roster. LEbuns hasnt played defense las 15 yrs. he'll no doubt repeat his floppin ensemble lookin 4 fouls. the franchise is in shambles.😂😂
denver is the "top dog". you sure about that? with this laker team we would have beaten the nuggets. every game was close.
My prediction for power rankings/standings in the WEST
1. Lakers
2. Denver
3. Suns
4. Kings
5. Memphis
6. Clippers (barring injuries to PG13 & Kawhi)
7. Wolves
8. OKC
9. Warriors
10. pelicans
11. Dallas
I'd say 3rd is a fairly hopeful assessment
Yeah
I too believe the Kings are gonna fall off next season
Nice analysis
Minnesota A tier along with nuggets and lakers. T’wolves are scary. Warriors, thunder B tier and maybe Memphis. Houston blazers and spurs bottom. Everyone else is C.
The scariest team for me is Boston. I hate writing that.
They got swept. They ranked last
Jamal Murray Playoff Flurry that was kinda 🔥
My pleasure my brother, great stream
Idk but this coming season is do or die for us in the L.A.bron era. Last and best shot for lebron to get his 5th title
Your videos always leave me feeling inspired and motivated.
Denver's lowest point differential in the playoffs was against the Lakers
Hahahahaha calling Maxwell Lewis, max Christie and prince wing depth hahahaha and calling them that as far as top tier nba competition comparison lmao Sean you are such a homer, biased joke
Chris Paul averages 2.1 steals for his career and Sean is making him out to be a perimeter defense issue while he hypes AR. Damn that's wrong. We have more wing depth than the Clippers now? What? Vando is a top 10 perimeter defender in the NBA since when? Did that happen when AR got his all-star nomation? 😂
My Finals pick in the year of Kobe: Indiana Pacers vs. Los Angeles Lakers with Lakers edging them out in 6.
Still need a good center
Clippers beat they ass 11-12 straight he talking about they better this dude losing his damn mind, bro y’all got swept and teams under you were hurt 😂😂😂
I think we’re gonna be 1st in the west depends on how we gel on & off the court. But the way our team constructed right now, I’m 100% confident that at least 1-3 in the West.
Lakers are D tier until they show us something I’m not going to be biased
Everyone forgets that teams will be hunting the Nuggets this time around and it’s hard to repeat. Denver losing Bruce Brown will show with the Nuggets specially in the Playoffs, Lakers were swept but they were in all games, all Lakers additions plus Denver’s losing a key player; will take Lakers over the hump. Western Conference Finals if Lakers face Denver in 5
Season gonna go depending on our point of attack defender
I LIKE YOUR PREDICTIONS! EXCEPT THE KINGS. I THINK THEY COULD BE HIGHER. GO LAKERS!!!!
Cam Payne to L.A
You are way underrating the Phoenix Suns. Their offensive talent is crazy good and is enough to overcome their defensive deficiencies. You are hoping they won't be great, but I believe they will be great. You are a bit delusional here.
Clippers/Trashcans are Tier F, no matter whose on the roster.
My prediction is grizz miss the playoffs. No ja for 25 games and no tyus they just don't have enough firepower and fall too far behind in the standings. The west is too deep. Nugs suns lakers clippers warriors are my locks for 5 of the 8 playoff teams, and other 3 I think will be wolves mavs pelicans. Thunder grizz and kings miss the yoffs
Lakers are Top 2 and they ain’t #2
Damn, Sean's aged a lot over the last year or so – he almost looks 19 now.
Sorry Sean, but the Kings are significantly better than the Mavs.
Nuggets , Suns & Warriors Only Teams Who Can Compete In The Playoffs
Cranium
I want the Lakers to aim for the number 1 seed of the NBA as early as possible so they can legitimately rest before the playoffs.
