Pels finna lose again on Tues. I rather get the Nuggets first in my opinion, if we can get past them in the 1st round. Sky's the limit
Lakers would make it a better series than the dammm pelicans. The pels are terrible at home 21 and 19 they take the L tmr
I wish ESPN knew how many people change the channel or stop watching when they see Malika Andrews on air.
ESPN should get rid of her and see how much their ratings approve.
Lakers will beat Denver n the first round. U heard me say it here first…
I am taking the Lakers.
AD better get them goggles on !!!
If the Lakers lose their fans are going to say “we didn’t want to play Denver”😭 so it’s a win win for them ig
Lucky for the Lakers, Perk is so often wrong, Pelicans will loose according to how wrong Perk gets it. I am not a LAKERS fan. ❤🙏
We have to see them either way what better time then right out the gate…
Based on what evidence
I want to believe this as a pelicans fan. But I also believe our team is scared of LeBron. Smh.
People writing the pelicans completely off bruh
Why do I have a feeling NO is going to beat LA, Sacramento is going to beat GS and then the Lakers beat the Kings and get to play OKC in the first round, things just always play out perfectly for LeBron lead teams
Loosing on purpose and Running from a team is not a championship mentality. You should want any and all the smoke, they gonna have to loose to Denver at some point lol
The Lakers are Winning The 2024 NBA Championships as an 8th seed for Kobe. I’m a Prophet of the Basketball Gods 4:23
Never anger the basketball gods.
If they throw the game, AD and Lebron might tweak an ankle against SAC/GSW…
The Pelicans are probably the only west team that can beat Denver honestly.
Man Lakers should play the Nuggets first round. I think a rematch is mutch see TV first round. I would like to see the lakers do better then last year. At least tske them to 7 even if you lose would show that Lakers are in the same tier.
I can almost guarantee that the Lakers will lose this one. They are smart enough to not play Denver in the first round Denver has their number lol😂
If the Lakers had Dwight they would beat the Nuggets..
As a Lakers fan, I'd rather play the Nuggets right now in the 1st round…because if they lose in the 1st round, we don't get our hopes up for very long…but if the Lakers beat the Nuggets in the 1st round, then we can prepare for a Championship this year…AND IF LEBRON BEATS THE NUGGETS IN HIS 21ST YEAR, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED HIS BEST PLAYOFF ACHIEVEMENT EVER.
Well this is 9 minutes of my life ill never get back
Perk trying so hard to appear balance by giving Pels a chance over Lakers.
We want the nuggets this ain't last yr once dlo show up its over
The crazy thing is that for the lakers is better lose to the pelicans and then win the second play-in game, just to avoid the nuggets.
Wouldn't you want on your resume if you win the Larry Obrien that you took out the champs?
“They’re still in the play-in tournament.” Ever since 1984, it has always been the Top 8 Seeds that advanced straight into the postseason. Stop calling the Lakers a “play-in team,” because if the play-in didn’t exist, they would have been going straight into Round 1 under the normal format. The Warriors and Kings are actual play-in teams.
ESPN, This is great! Let's be friends and have fun together!
Perk says whatever at this point 🤣💀
I'm 44 years old I play sports in all my sports I never grew up trying to lose a game on purpose to me that is a loser mentality
Zion could not back LeBron down, he's on TRT and when he actually tries on defense he's a beast. Can he do it every game? No.
Much as he ride Lebron and the Lakers, he going against them.
