Can the Los Angeles Lakers win the Western Conference? 👀 Perk says ‘HELL NO!’ 🗣️ | NBA Today
What’s this Lakers team ceiling second round no and and and Zach you just lied to the America to the americ let’s let’s you said you said that the Lakers are dangerous and you don’t believe that yourself dangerous to who right they’re not beating the Nuggets they’re not beating the timberwoods in the seven
They’re not beating the Los Angeles Clippers in the seven not if the Timber Wood have home court they haven’t beaten them this year they haven’t beaten them this we we can because anytime you have Anthony Davis and LeBron James your ceiling is going to the NBA finals and
Trying to compete for a championship anytime we’re talking about one of the greatest players on one of the greatest franchises it’s not making it to the postseason so are they playing better basketball yes cuz they’re finally starting to see that the offense need to be ran through Anthony Davis that
Doesn’t mean he’s going to take 25 shots that means he’s going to make others around him better but are they dangerous in the Western Conference hell no the the Lakers have beaten all the top teams this year they haven’t beat Minnesota they haven’t beat Denver okay if that’s
The defining line of them not they they could they can beat anything you said they beat all at their best listen the first year the season tournament everybody wanted that they wouldn’t got that they wouldn’t took that when the lights are on I’m tell that’s true they
Did everybody else wanted to win I love having being in hold on pleas please don’t bring up the End season turn why not they had the easiest pool out of every they did said yourself LeBron Anthony Davis and a cast of of a wide variety of role
Players that can step on E on any you got them going to the finals no I don’t have them do you got them going to the Western Finals he asked she asked what the they’re dangerous to use dis pointing talk because you accused me of lying sir to the American public on
Television we can sit here and have a tri over what the word dangerous means okay dangerous to me just means I’m I’m not like psyched to face them in a playoff series but look let’s be clear about what the western conference is there are four teams at the top they are
Cut Above everybody else right now Minnesota Denver Clippers and who am I forgetting OKC the Lakers aren’t as good as any of those teams they’d be underdogs against all of them in the playoffs right now particularly Denver and the Clippers and then we got Phoenix coming so like dangerous dangerous does
I don’t know what dangerous means dangerous means none of those teams are psyched to face them I think they could beat the Thunder in the playoff series but I agree with you B I’m not like picking them to win the title I’m just saying they’re like a littley a second
Round they did just beat they did just beat the Clippers and they did just beat OKC correct yes with this new lineup change for OKC they’re capable of beating anybody no no no they had the old lineup when they actually beat the Clippers they had the old lineup when
They beat the cers so let me ask you this you picking the Lakers in the cop no I miss you I miss you I want to button up a button listen Hey look let me ask you this though real talk you picking the the Lakers in the Clipper
Series I’m not picking against them I’m not I’m not saying I’m picking sounds like someone who has played with LeBron I’m not picking against them smart man thank you I’m not picking against them I just you know I keep my money in my pocket on that one just pull
A CH just pick nobody yeah in that situation yes because it’s like look LeBron I’m not betting against those guys now you put Denver a championship team a team that has done it before right that’s one that you could probably you could probably pick against the lake I [Applause] [Applause] is

Guy said the Clippers😂😂😂😂
No, they can't win the Western conference finals. They are super inconsistent. 1-2 games ain't 💩.
Lakers also would have won the LBJ missed called 3 point game so…..
Glad someone is finally sticking up for the Timberwolves and not just saying “they’re not real because they’re the Timberwolves “
Boston vs Clippers finals boston in 7
Lakers won't even make it to the playoffs ⛳
Hate Perkins when he talk like he knows thing like he can see in the future. Dude the ball is round, anything can happen
They beat the thunder, the clippers, the pelicans, the Timberwolves
Perk isn’t bright
We're winning it all this year. Lebron will retire after that. End of story.
I just can’t with the media
They such a roller coaster 🎢
I agree with perk!!
Lol the Lakers and Klutch Sports 24/7 Network ESPN, many teams are balling right now and none of the have that TV time or perspective to get recognized
Can this show talk about other teams. I understand they need to get viewers and make $$$ but there's still other 29 teams. They answered this question already.
nobody wanna see helth bron and ad perk a clown dude cant even dribble a ball
Ppl drinking the Suns juice and once again they’ll let you down
I wanna button up a button perk funniest joke ever
ESPN is a propaganda brainwashing network for LeBron James. He's not the GOAT, trade him to Cleveland for Donovan Mitchell and Lavert.
Hire Gregg Williams. #knockout #cartoff
Austin Rivers was just there because of his dad
No way he said twolves 😂😂
Perk you big grizzly shut up
🖕 to ESPN for talking more about the Lakers then teams that are better then them
Why yall ALWAYS talking about the lakers??????
No 1 cares about Lakers accept laker fans and the media it’s a joke
Oh look, it's the Los Angeles lakers network station.
Yes the Lakers can because Lebron will find a way to injure every good player on each team 😂
The easiest route but their match up in the final game was a team that the Bucks have yet to beat all season. Never count out a healthy AD and Bron.
Remember the Lakers weren't supposed to make the play in last year, We will revisit the post in a few months. I will save it in my prediction folder
They have a chance yes they do , as much as the rest of the top 8 teams do. Lakers one of those teams that will sneak on you and when you know it u see them in the last round playing. Don’t underestimate them, they not stupid. They know what they doing by reaching 8th seed. Top team has to knock them out swiftly. Don’t take it easy on them cause they will eliminated you given the chance.

I hate this expectation for the Lakers to be good. My favorite years are when they suck
Perkins chatting
Lakers can beat anyone they bugging
> If AD will start on passing (as Bron said on his recent interview)
> If Dlo continues to produce high scoring average and help more in playmaking
> If Vando continues to get back to his top tier defensive self
> If C Wood contributes more on defending the paint, getting more points and rebounds
> If Hayes be more improved in defensing the paint
Then the Lakers might go to the finals
I feel like the roster is not the problem bruh , we don’t gotta keep trading .. it’s really just the coaching but if they just build the chemistry then they can make some shake
Father Time
I mean he got a point tho they aint beating Denver or Minnesota
