I think everyone who watches the 2020 NBA Season feels that the Lakers will really take it all BUT for some reason, we know that the underdogs or other teams are not gonna let that happen because everybody got their pride on the line. I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.
Lakers is no doubt the best team in the NBA right now, although they didn't hold the best record in the NBA in overall but Lebron is a proven champion, plus they have Davis who had a playoff experience and very hungry to win a championships.
In sportsbook they are the favorites so they might likely win, but you are right, there are underdog that could give a surprise, like the NUggets or the Clipperes.
They are, and what I like with Lebron James now is that the Lakers has a great chemistry and Lebron does not need to do it alone this time unlike in the past that he usually carry the team to win, he got Davis on his side who is a dominant big man, this man can dropped 20 to 30 points, depending on the need, so they really are a threat. I feel that the competition this playoffs and in the NBA finals is better compared to the previous.
No doubt for Davis and Lebron, they are a class A superstars, I don't even see a single game where they struggle, we can really rely on them and I understand if majority would bet on the Lakers to win because they are just so good this season.
Bucks on the other hand had the best record but it seems like their loss last playoffs was still fresh in the mind of the fans, Giannis needs to prove he can also dominate in the playoffs to gain the trust back, personally, I'm not backing the bucks to win, even in the East.
