Um, so I think there's, I'm at, let me just say who I don't think there's pressure on that. You may be, maybe not you, but the fans, but I don't think there's a lot of pressure on the Lakers. Okay. Um, that's not what people are going to think. They're going to think, oh my God, like the lake, you know, if LeBron doesn't win, like, uh, you know, there goes the Jordan comparison.

Um, uh, I think the Lakers are better, are going to be better next year. And I think this year is all about them. getting the reps in together and learning to play with each other under pressure and figuring out how LeBron and Luca and Austin Reeves are going to share the load. They're not equipped really to handle it. I say handle it. That's the wrong word. They're not equipped.

They're not built. The roster isn't built out to win 12 playoff games to win the West. In my opinion, they could prove me wrong and then laugh at me. I could get called weird again, but I, I, I don't think there's a lot of pressure on them. Um, I don't think there's a lot of pressure really on the warriors because I think they're kind of in a free roll. Jimmy has his contract.

The warriors have their titles. Like if they can make a run, um, They did it, man. They, you know, Seth has four rings. What was it? If he gets a fifth, like that's supposed to like take him to upper echelon. They want to win. They did great. You know, Jimmy doesn't have a ring, but no one's going to say that Jimmy Butler isn't a great pressure player.

Like his, he obviously would want to win, but his reputation is kind of secure. I think there could be a little bit of pressure on Donovan Mitchell because Donovan Mitchell, when he was in Utah several times, I'm not sure he had two 61 teams.

He definitely had one 61 team in Utah and they've never, he never made it to the conference finals and it wasn't always his fault, but he is not always delivered at the highest. He's sort of been up and down. He's had some playoff games where he's been amazing, but his team has never like over even achieved much. That's overachieved.

And he is, by the way, he has spent this whole year as the Cavs racked up 64 or 65 wins, whatever they had saying, none of this matters. This 15 game winning streak to start the season doesn't matter. The 16 game win streak they had in the, in the, after the all-star break doesn't matter. The three all-stars doesn't matter. Him making all NBA doesn't matter.

He's like, because I've been on great teams before and it doesn't matter if you don't win. And I think that's true. And look, I don't favor them to win the East because, But if they stub their toe and, like, don't get to the conference finals or if they get to the conference finals and they've built out this team, this team is, like, set up.
