Because even when healthy, Lakers can be beaten, especially against teams with two way bigs. All the teams they lost too had bigs that AD couldn’t handle: Indiana,Orlando, Portland, Toronto, Clippers, etc.

Denver, Utah, Clippers... those teams are very, very dangerous. And now that Michael Porter is getting off with Denver and Jokic inside as a point cent? That’s Porter, Grant, Jokic, Barton Murray, Torrey, Beasley, Morris all coming at you. I don’t think the lakers can handle Denver in 7 game series. Don’t have the fire power.
