I mean, I have zero faith in the Raptors either, but they at least play defense.

They do do that.

But their issue is obviously on the offense.

Hey, if you could take the Lakers and Raptors and put them together, you might have something there.

But how many siren emojis are you applying to the Lakers, who I do have ranked dead last like Harper at 12th?

Half sirens allowed or not allowed?

No such thing as a half siren, is there?

I'll go two sirens.

Okay.

I think they could win a first-round series.

Right now they're in the sixth seed.

They're only a game up on Phoenix right now after last night's loss.

could drop into the play-in quite realistically, but if they stay at six, if the Rockets, as they currently are, stay at three, like the Rockets are not a super scary team.

We'll get into their siren count in a little bit here, but they have clutch problems.

The Lakers are generally a clutch team, though we just saw them lose back-to-back clutch games, one not getting a shot off and one Reeves barely missing.

Both good plays, though, I would say, by J.J.

Redick to get wide-open shots.

I just don't think they have a playoff-level defense.

They're going to run out.

DeAndre Ayton, don't call me Clint Capella.
