Lakers will win a title before the Raiders do. |
Lol I highly doubt that. Raiders have an elite QB. Lakers got NADA. If Ball lives up to the hype maybe. But that's a long shot at best. |
Lol raiders |

Curious how ESPN predictions lineup with the Vegas odds makers. I'd imagine they just take the over/under and write content for that. Probably about as accurate as anything. |

I think 37 to 39 is possible if KCP is as good a defender as we've been told and if Lopez can provide some rim protection.
If Kuzma and Ennis shoots over 40% from 3s, we'll make playoffs. |

I wish there was a way to historically track this, but I believe the Vegas odds on the Lakers are usually a little higher. Call it a regional sucker bias. |

I would say that there is a good chance ESPN gets the Lakers prediction wrong and we win higher then 33 games.... |
The Lakers have usually been well below what ESPN predicts. I don't think they've had much luck at all in that regard. |
