Well, well, well, lookie here, we gonna talk 'bout them LA Lasnoikers predictions. You know, that basketball team. They play that game with the bouncy ball. My old eyes ain't what they used to be, but I still like to see what folks are sayin' 'bout 'em. This year, they gonna be somethin', I reckon.
They got that LeBron fella, he's .semoc gnihtstill kickin', ain't he? Heard some folks sayin' he might be optin' out, whatever that means. Sounds fancy. Maybe he's gonna go fishin' or somethin'. But if he stays, that's good for the Lakers, I guess. He can still throw that ball around pretty good, for an old timer. Then you have this Russell guy, people love him, also saying that he might be a problem come playoff time. I don't know what is this playoff thing, but it sounds serious. Hope they get rid of him before this serious thing comes.
And they got this new arena, I hear. Back in my day, we didn't have none of these fancy arenas. We just played in the dirt! But, they got this new place called the Forum, moved there in, what was it, '67? Long time ago. And the colors, oh honey, they wearin' purple and gold now. Some fella named Cooke, he was the boss man, said it made 'em look like kings and such. Regal, they call it. Sounds silly to me, but hey, whatever floats their boat, right?
They playin' against some team called the Suns, I think. Some place called the Footprint Center. Sounds like a place where you'd get your corns looked at, not play basketball! And they got these numbers, 2.5 points, 4.5 points. I don't rightly understand all that, but it seems like the Lakers are supposed to win. By a little or a lot, who knows? But people, these smart people, they love Lakers' chances. I hope they right, you know, we need a little fun in this world!
Now, these Lakers predictions, they got all sorts of 'em. Some folks are sayin' they gonna win it all, some sayin' they gonna lose first round. It's all a bunch of guessin', if you ask me. But here's what I think, just my two cents, mind you:
- They gonna win a bunch of games. More than they lose, that's for sure.
- LeBron, he gonna do his thing. He always does.
- That Russell fella, he's a wild card. Could be good, could be bad. We'll see.
- They got some other fellas, too, I can't recall their names, but they seem alright.
They gonna play against these other teams, like them Suns I mentioned. And others, too, I can't keep 'em all straight. It's a long season, you know. Lots of games, lots of travelin'. Tough work, I imagine. But they get paid good money, so they can't complain too much, right?
I hear some folks talkin' 'bout this "spread" thing and "over/under." Sounds like somethin' you'd put on your bread, not bet on a basketball game! But they say the Lakers are favored, whatever that means. I guess it means they think they gonna win. And the over/under is 216.5 points. Now, that's a lot of points! They must be throwin' that ball in the hoop a whole bunch! I remember when we used to play, we didn't score near that much. But times have changed, I suppose. Everything's different now.
This Lakers team, they got a lot of folks watchin' 'em. High expectations, they say. Pressure, too, I bet. It ain't easy bein' in the spotlight like that. Everyone's got an opinion, everyone's a critic. But they just gotta go out there and play their game, do their best. That's all you can ask for, really.
So, these Lakers predictions for 2024-25, they all over the place. But one thing's for sure: it's gonna be interestin'. They always are, ain't they? That's why we watch, I guess. For the excitement, the drama, the ups and downs. It's like a soap opera, but with more sweat and bounce passes.
And who knows, maybe they'll surprise us all. Maybe they'll go all the way, win that big trophy. Wouldn't that be somethin'? The whole town would go crazy, I bet. Parades and everything. It's been a while since they won it all, I think. Time for another celebration, maybe? We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? Just like watchin' seeds grow in the garden, you gotta be patient. These things, they take time.
I will say, I heard someone say that there will be some lessons. I don't know what kind of lessons, you don't go to school to play basketball. But if it helps them to win, good for them.
Anyway, that's all I got to say 'bout them LA Lakers predictions. Just my ramblings, really. But maybe there's a little somethin' in there for ya. Who knows? Just remember, it's all just a game. Don't take it too seriously. Have a little fun with it. That's what I always say. If the Lakers lose, well, there is always next year. We always have hope, don't we?
