They will be more effective if they will use their size, but for me a combination is also good for this kind of squad.

WB or LeBron to attack, drop out the ball if Melo or any other open man is on the arc, they can always battle for the offensive rebound since they have size inside. Is more on how the team will blend together, a good chemistry that will allow each other to trust and win together as a team.


If no major injuries will happen again with this both teams, the possibilities are higher seeing them meeting in the finals.

Too early, but I'm also excited to see if how pride will win a title.

The NBA from the last 3 years has become less predictable compared from the past when Miami and Golden States dominated the NBA.
I have to agree that Milwaukee just dodge an elimination because Brooklyn was suffering from Injury. They could have lost If Durant hit a 3 point buzzer beater, luckily Durant just stepped to the 3 point stripe.
Maybe If Milwaukee will improve the way they play, they can still compete with the Brooklyn superteam.

Lakers is not a super team. Only full of popular players before that is now out of their prime. Westbrook can still do double-double and that's even better because he is good in assist. Just need 10 points which is easy to make then focus on assist. And without forcing a stat pad, Westbrook didn't noticed he made lots of triple double last year. Maybe he can repeat in the Lakers although  I agree to you that it's now inconsistent.


You are right. He is not showing any signs of slowing down and still fast and quick. He also becomes bulky that instead can result for him not to be quick, he can still forced his way to the near basket crashing defense.

Yes, this is interesting. Westbrook is a PG with different characteristics, he is very fast, explosive, and defends well (but he is not excellent defender).

The best comparison I can make of Westbrook is comparing it to DRose (in the Bulls era).
But in my humble opinion, I believe nowdays it's will be crazy let LeBron James play as ​PG

This season's Lakers are not a 3-point shooting team. Unfortunately they don't have a player who is an excellent 3-point shooter, like Klay, Curry, Korver and others.

I believe in this Lakers team will be an experienced and technical team because they will have players with a lot of experience, for example, LeBron, Rondo, Howard, Ariza and Melo.

I didn't know that. Thank you bro. I just read the news about the meeting in Lebron's place but never had the idea they will go far in talking about positions that early. I mean, it's far before the season starts but they already knew they will be clashing in positions when the game starts.
Westbrook is an all-around player and so does Lebron. AD also position himself inside and outside so they will really have a hard time creating a strong chemistry.
I like how they humble themselves for the championship, maybe it will really work. Let's just wait and see. It's near.

I don't want to consider Melo only, the Lakers team is one of the best squad they ever had. Lebron is a one-man show, he always has been. He can win games on his own. And Howard, Rondo, Melo all of these players are very good and experienced in their respected positions. Melo might have a better chance of winning the trophy with the lakers compared to any other team though, because the Lakers are looking like very commanding contenders of the title. Let's hope we have a great season up ahead.

Current Lakers team has to be one of the if not the best squad in the league.  Westbrook is one of my favourite players. He is agile, he is tall, he can dribble, he can take rebounds, he can defend, he can burst into the box for creating scoring chances - he does it all man. With the squad Lakers have now, if WB can pull the defense a bit towards him, others can be marker free and they can have better and free-scoring chances.

this is the concern here, with their age coach needs to utilize each player to avoid having major injuries,

But on the brighter side, experience will allow them to jive together and give good rest for their starters. Those known good players can
give minutes for both LeBron and AD.

Westbrook, Melo, Rondo and Howard can be paired with anyone and let their two stars resting.
While the new season is nearing, it's really exciting to see how Lakers will come up with these aged stars.

^ Yes, they are an old team compared to others but you have to see the old players they got. Lebron, Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony all of these players are beasts on the pitch. And add Anthony Davis to that and you have a banged squad. Lebron can one-handedly win any match. They also have a decent bench - which will be able to compensate for the old players' minutes. So yeah, the Lakers are my favourite for this season's titleholder.



^ Well, as the players get old, they lose some of their paces and in some extent-dribbling skills. But their gamesense, positioning, and overall awareness get better. So what I'm thinking is, if the matches are played with a mixture of the veterans and the young bloods, that could work well in favour of the Lakers. And Lebron is something else. He ages like fine wine. Just getting better everyday. He is also very close to breaking the record of all-time scoring of Kareen Abdul Jabbar.
