The good news is I think the Lakers are more talented than LeBron’s last Cavs team. The bad news is they aren’t talented enough yet to beat the Warriors.
Magic is confident though.
Here are some of his comments via The Screen and Roll.
”I think that we’ll look forward to that challenge. Everybody expects Golden State to win again but I would love to have the challenge to play them in the Western Conference Finals if we can get to that position. I’m a competitor, so I’m not scared of Golden State. I’m not worried about Golden State. They don’t keep me up at night. I know that we have a really solid team, a good team, and a tough-minded team. And we got guys now who are winners.”
”LeBron James brings a championship mentality to our team. So does (Rajon) Rondo, he’s won a championship with Boston. And then JaVale McGee, he used to play for Golden State, he’s won two championships.”
I wouldn’t be shocked if Lakers made it to Western Conference Finals, I would be shocked if they made it to the Finals in LeBron’s first year.
