Is it too early to brag that the Lakers have zero chance this year?

Nah, man. Waaaaaaayyyy to early. I'm hoping they end up a lottery team, but they have a very real chance at the title.

[Wardell Curry]

Is it too late to brag that Jordan didn't win the title at age 39 either? I suspect the same answer can be had for both questions, regardless of what you want that answer to be.

[Xiao Yao You]

What chance? Davis and Lebron staying healthy?

Lebron not being healthy is in fact the best chance they have at the title.

[ShawkFactory]

The likely won't be winning the title. Do they have a shot? Sure.

But yea you can start bragging. The odds are in your favor.

[Real Men Wear Green]

They have no shot but 38/39 James is still better than 38/39 MJ or Kobe so you will still have to take your meds.

He should take his meds regardless.

No....it;s not too early this team is good but will likely go out in the first round. Suns, Warriors, and Nuggets are too good

got to make the play-in first. That's not going to be easy

[Axe]

We have wemby playing in the league already and we still have the very same obsessed retards who are still incapable of not scrutinizing the mighty king kong lol.

But all those teams are 1 key injury away from being irrelevant. Anything could happen.

some teams are more likely to have injuries. Almost certain Lebron and Davis will miss significant time

[SATAN]

I wouldn't be making threads like this yet. I think the Lakers are going to hit their stride and look a lot better. Key guys haven't played well, idiotic pocket hands still experimenting with rotations and benching guys who actually are playing well etc

Right but you are saying the top three teams in the west would all have to have devastating injuries...and The Lakers would have to be healthy...and they would beat the team coming out of the East. If I were tp break down the odds going into this season it would be something like

20% - Suns
15% - Celtics
15% - Bucks
15% - Nuggets
15% - Warriors
5% - Miami
15% - The Field - and that's the entire field...I wouldn't have the Lakers at the top of that list
