Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green believes you can never count out a team like the Lakers, who have both Luka Doncic and LeBron James on their roster. Still, he thinks their defense could be the reason they don’t go far in the playoffs.
“You ask yourself how dangerous they can be during the playoffs. A part of me wants to say not very dangerous at all, but the other side of me knows better. You have Luka Doncic and LeBron James on the court at the same time - you always have a chance against anyone. I just don’t know if they’re good enough defensively to take it all the way,” Draymond said on his podcast.
The Lakers are currently sitting third in the Western Conference with a 45–25 record, two games ahead of the fourth seed.
They are led by the phenomenal Luka Doncic, who is averaging an incredible 40.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game.
