The Lakers are not untouchable and their first round against the Wolves will already be a good test for them. For this former commentator, everything can happen at the time of the Postseason. What to annoy supporters?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Qualified for the playoffs, the Lakers will face the Wolves for the first round. A first real test for the men of JJ Redick, who will have to be wary of Anthony Edwards or Rudy Gobert in the racket. It will also be interesting to see the performance of French, which could quickly become the key to this series.<\/p>\n

Because opposite, we know that Angelinos have problems with their racket. The opportunity for Gobert to take advantage of it, even if a “small-ball” of the Lakers could also put it in difficulty. It will be a game of chess between the two coaches and impossible to know who will come out of it. But among supporters in Los Angeles, confidence reigns.<\/p>\n

What future for Lakers?<\/h2>\n

After all, there is Luka Doncic now and last year, with Dallas, he was exceptional to eliminate Minnesota. So obviously the situation is different now, but the supporters are impatient to see how Slovenian will manage. However, for this former commentator, we will have to be wary of such an opponent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before the first round against Lakers, the viral opinion on Rudy Gobert: “his kryptonite”\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n

John Ireland recently spoke about the case of Angelinos. According to him, the franchise is capable of everything in these playoffs, including the possibility of going out in the first round. And with Minnesota opposite, it's not impossible.<\/p>\n

\n

John Ireland<\/strong> : “I would not be surprised if the Lakers were eliminated in the first round, but also if they reached the NBA finals. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Everything will depend on adversaries or the level of lakers, capable of the best as of the worst depending on the situation. But among supporters, victory seems compulsory against the Wolves, especially since the men of Chris Finch do not succeed in the best campaign in their history. They had to wait for the last match to win their ticket for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

So on paper, purple and gold are favorites.<\/p>\n

\n

@bitrii6<\/strong> : “But what? It would be very shocking that the Lakers lose in the first round. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@Christc77_23<\/strong> : “We are not going to lose in the first round. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@Azinolawls<\/strong> : “Sometimes it's better to say nothing. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@Tyler88536683<\/strong> : “A defeat in the first round would be shocking, yes. They will make a big run during these playoffs. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unpredictable scenario for Lakers? Given the confidence of supporters, elimination in the first round would be very painful, yes. To Luka Daceic and LeBron James to make it happen. But beware of wake up of the Wolves in Postseason.<\/strong><\/p>\n
