  1. When have Anthony Davis EVER bought it every night 😏. Plus how Lebron played in this past playoff….I don't see that.

  2. Are ya'll forgetting the Lakers got swept last year by the Nuggets?!?! At least be honest and admit you're pandering to bigger fan bases.

  3. Another season, another year when Lakers are overrated… reality check coming in within 20 games…

  4. 7th seed for the Suns? Kid give me what you smokin there

  5. I would bet $100 that the Suns end with a better defensive rating than the Warriors. Naming Okogie as a guy that is a good defensive player but can't take it to another level is insane to me, and makes me wonder if Logan watched Suns basketball outside of the Nuggets series. Okogie, by defensive metrics as well as just watching him, is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. He, and if Jordan Goodwin can ever put it together offensively, are great point of attack defense options. Booker is much improved from his early years, KD is a very good weak side help defender. Nurkic is not a good rim protector by most metrics, so I doubt they will be an elite defensive team, but they have nowhere near the worst defensive talent. Plus, Vogel is a good defensive coach whose schemes will help mitigate their weaknesses.

  6. Yall spoke on the Warriors and didnt mention Klay…he is in a contract year and i see him back to 20pts per game on 46% shooting.
