1. We will see 💯🤙💜💛

2. Didn't the lakers beat this very okc last w Jdub present by 30pts last yr? Lebron was the great equalizer. Lakers will slice and dice OKC defense.

3. WHY MOST OF THIS NBC NBA ANALYS HAS NUT RINGS? ROFL

4. Fair assessment fact of the matter is reaves if the one who can put fake numbers up in the regular season, but disappear comes playoff time. Can’t even say they hating even though I think they are to an extent.

5. I dont think any team in the league wants to play the lakers right now with how they playing and how Luka is cooking every team he plays against 🔥

6. Coming from a panel of commentators with ZERO championships 🤨
   Please STFU

7. Lakers can beat anybody in a 7 game series. This team has depth. What the hell they talking about. 🙄

8. Injuries also play a part. It's a long grueling session. It's too early in the season to crown anybody. However, if the Lakers stay healthy. Look the hell out.

9. Scalabrine looking like Rappaport

10. A lot of people get it misunderstood it ain't about the big three it's about the other seven on the court can they bring Championship help. All championship teams have a bench that can bring help when those players sit down they don't lose the lead but keep it going or hold it

11. No they CANT win it, as presently constructed. Trade so Miles Bridges can replace Rui Hachimura, and maybe Reaves gets better at his spot up shooting, ALA Ray Allen type shots. Reaves is sub par when waiting off the ball for a spot up shot.

12. Always clowns who didn’t win anything talk nonsense

13. we will see😂😂😂

14. Preseason “clippers better than the lakers they’ll be a play-in.” Tonight “the clippers aren’t that good lakers won’t be good moving forward”Goalpost moving stop it.

15. Reaves is basically a zero factor in playoffs.

16. I love that people are giving AR the credit they deserve

17. LeBron James you are the man know matter what!!!!!!!!!!!

18. We will accept that we ain’t title contenders and okc is big dog in the like they say every dog has they day people always put us down until we surprised everybody in the finales

19. Deandre Avton stay healthy it will help them in postseason..That is what killed Lakers last year in playoffs against Minnesota they had no bigs and was dominated on boards, inside defense and post points also Jackson Hayes has been getting better

20. The Lakers could beat any one of those teams fully loaded with a healthy Bron in the lineup. And with LeBron coasting like this, he will easily average 30+ points in the playoffs💯

21. Not when LeBrick is part of the team.

22. LAKERS 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS. 🎉🎉🎉 LUKA DONCIC SEASON MVP

23. we already saw the answer last yea… why are they acting as if it’s different?

24. There gonna be a top 4 team in the west but who did they beat so far this season that's a contender? The jazz twice, hornets, pelicans, heat, blazers. I mean they are expected to beat these teams. I wanna see them play the thunder, rockets, and denver before i start saying they're legit. I know this was last year and things a different now but they were a third seed last season and they only won one playoff game. As third seed winning one playoff game is embarrasing imo. Dont get ur hopes up its early in the season

25. What else are guys going to say that wish they were Lakers in their careers? T-Mac talking about he was better than Kobe after he's dead and gone. You know Kobe would have accepted that conversation while he was alive. Kobe was a champion at 22. He was a factor too!

26. Fk these ppl 😂

27. There obviously contenders.

28. T McGrady is the biggest hater

29. NBC needs just stepped up their game. They have a Z team. Talking

30. Last time I checked, the Oklahoma City Thunder were still champions.

31. Clippers is team hurt. I mean Kawhi Leonard never plays and if he does he gets hurt. Bradley Beal never Played and Broke his hip. The Clippers is the team that Mr Glass I meant Anthony Davis needs to be on 😂

32. Clearly nobody can win against OKC! Look at there record. 😂

33. IM NOT SUPRISE AT ALL HOW THIS THREE FORMER PLAYERS WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO DEFEND TALKED ABOUT DEFENCE.AND HOW THEY UNDERESTIMATE THE LAKERS ,NO CHANCE AT ALL AGAINST OKC AND NUGGETS . LBJ ,REEVES AND LUKA WE TRUST . THE PANEL ARE LAKERS HATER SPECIALLY TMAC.😊😊😊

34. They can doubt us, but they can't destroy us

35. I’m starting not to like t mac

36. The only team I see beating LBJ, Luka de Don and AR15 in a 7 game series is the joker and his boys. Thats it

37. All the haters unite!

38. Why they have that Celtikkks homer in Scalabrine in here?! Go back to Boston NBC my guy 😂😂😂

39. Come on man! The narratives are very weak! Did LeBron take much lesser teams to the finals, several times, have Luka took a lesser team to the finals by himself, now these two are playing together with the best supporting cast they ever had before. That's not even including third all star Austin Reeves. These folks biasness against everything Lakers is crazy and very evident. They constant dog out the Lakers players, I thought the LAKERS were winning big games this season when Luka and Bron were out! They narratives are disrespectful in the most worst way, and they are nothing but liars!

40. Talk shit never done shit and never won a ring haters I love it

41. Denver they can beat
    Okc will be tuff buts its do able
    They still trying to figure out who’s gonna step up on the bench other than Marcus smart but they got players that can score and get hot off the bench in Jake and Nick plus I think drew Timmie will be a factor off bench come mid season you gut Dalton they have 3 stars so one will always be on the court with thebackups
    We only need 20-25 points a night from the bench with Marcus Smart, Jake, Jackson,drew Timmie, Nick smith , Dalton we should be ok.

42. I don’t listen to Someone like Tmac who thinks he was just as good as Kobe and didn’t make any all defense teams

44. Denver does NOT have enough defenders for the Lakers. We only worried about OKC, everyone else is below.
