Lakers have the best player in the series in Anthony Davis, their own steph curry in D’Angelo Russell and LeBron James. They’re hardly underdogs at 7th seed.

Nah, it's not even a knock on AD, but he's not better than Steph.

Kong's partly injured and they wouldn't have the hca, again. Otoh, at least they are rested now and are 3-1 against the dubs h2h in the rs. Not sure tho if it will mean a thing here.

Davis had what two 20/20 games recently? How many players did that in the nba this season? Clearly the best player in this series. There are two sides to basketball not just offense.

Those are weak odds for a team with HCA.
But we've seen this story before. Memphis with Dillon Brooks and Ja were also favorites and it was shown to not even be close.
The only way the warriors win is if AD goes down. That's baked into the odds given his history.

He had a ~ 30/20 game... wilt like. And the warriors are smaller than the grizzlies.

Yet you also used or believed in the preseason odds before when you underestimated the 2015 warriors, despite the fact that they won 67 games during the rs.

It's a knock on Lebron that he can't field dominant favorites regardless of cast.. He can only assemble a PRESEASON favorite (on-paper talent), which invariably falls to underdog as the season progresses and his weak brand underachieves the on-paper talent.

The kings are even smaller than the Warriors. It would've been a travesty seeing little sabonis with his black eye getting pummeled by AD, Vanderbilt, and Lebron. Lucky the dubs won today so we at least can have a good viewing experience.

Ridiculous odds. Lakers should be massive favorites. Lakers are stacked to the gills. Even if Curry balls out and Bronie shrivels, the Lakers should still win in 5.
