A lakers vs Warriors first round matchup would be fire though.
On Luka, I think he looks thinner and moving better. He just hasn’t made shots he can make. We saw it with us earlier in the season. Even when not right, he can still get his points due to toughness and IQ. He should be fine. I still want to see his quickness though. When he jumps he still looks 40. Still though, he appears to be making good progress getting back into form.
Lakers defense has been excellent. Mirage? It is looking like they are real. They give up very little easy baskets. That is key.
Lebron is so so good.
Let me add, I just can't take Ben Simmons seriously. Teams have no concern for him when he is out of the paint and it never enters his mind that I am going to try a three pointer just because. It is a schtict that is way too old. You don't need to take 10 threes but to not even try one tells me he is not a serious player.
