I don't know if I would have the Lakers that high. No Celtics?
My hot takes for the season are that Boston and Phoenix will be massively disappointing. I just don't think Porzingis or Beal are winning players and I don't think Jaylen Brown or Booker are as good as other people seem to (although I love both of their games).
I really like the Lakers roster, but obviously if Grandpa Lebron or Street Clothes Davis get serious injuries the Lakers won't be the 3rd best team.

It would be hard for me to bet the over on 55 games played for either Lebron or Davis.

I think they would both have to be out for it to be a huge problem. With AD, but no Lebron, the Lakers were awesome last year and I think they could tread water if AD were out, but Lebron were available.

My wife won't be happy. She is a clippers fan. Haha

I think you must have meant that she's "the Clippers fan".

Haha. Definitely the Clippers fan in our family. I am not fond of either LA team but the Lakers are usually must watch even if I don't care for them.

I hear you. I very grudgingly enjoy watching this version of the Lakers.
