Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[Chicagojk]

Lakers played an awesome game. Controlled the defensive rebound and generated huge amount of open threes. If Lakers would be shooting better, it would be a blow out. It was a B2B for Houston, but watching this game, I am not really scared of them. Their halfcourt offense is not good and their bigs stand no chance defending the three pointer. Key game against GSW next.

Didn’t see the game.  Imo they are the second best team in the west and I would want to avoid OKC as long as possible.  Did you see OKC has one loss against the East all year?  Wow!  Maybe someone shocks OKC in the first two rounds.  Unlikely though.

I don’t think anyone will want to play this a lakers team.  While they are a little flawed, Luka will get his teammates good looks and if Luka is hitting his three there is nothing you can do.

I think the key is how Lebron holds up in a long playoff.  If he can’t be what he was right after the trade, that will be tough for the Lakers.

While avoiding OKC is my number one if I was them.  A GS and Denver first two round is next.  Both teams have their issues, but jokic and Steph can impact a series like Luka.  I would be hoping to get Memphis or Houston in the first round.  Neither are beating a healthy Laker team
