On March 24, Beijing time, according to US media reports, former Los Angeles Lakers star Shaker O'Neal talked about the Lakers' prospects in the playoffs in the show.
O'Neal said: "As long as the Lakers go into the playoffs and win the game to get into the playoffs, then they have to face the Suns in the first round, but I predict they will beat the Suns in the first round."
"Of course, I'm a little disappointed with the lakers now, a lot of people are like that, but we all forget their age, Westbrook came to the Lakers, and Anthony also came to the Lakers." The Lakers have become accustomed to having a lot of stars in the lineup. However, since the thick eyebrow brothers can't play now, I doubt that they will be able to make it to the playoffs. However, the Lakers will beat the Suns in the first round."
Currently, the Lakers are 31-41 and rank ninth in the West. Just one win ahead of the Pelicans, for the Lakers, if they want to make the playoffs, they will also have to play playoff games, and they will also face strong opponents pelicans, Clippers or Timberwolves. That's a big test for the Lakers.
Since the beginning of this season, after the Lakers have got veterans such as Anthony, Westbrook and Howard, the team's record is bad, especially after the injury of the thick eyebrow brother, the Lakers seem to have become less good at playing, and it is too difficult to rely on James alone!
