Remember this from Shannon Sharpe? This is in total jeopardy right now. 
Instead of Lakers in 5, it might be Wolves in 5.
That’s why I don’t really believe in analysts as they usually give us wrong predictions anyway. Instead of Lakers in 5, it might be Wolves in 5. Honestly, I don't even expect the Lakers to win another game. They're down 3-1 and will be haunted by their mistakes.
It depends on the analyst. Most of these “analysts” has biased opinion especially on the team that they are favored. Some of them are being paid just to hype a certain team or to ride the hype to become relevant to the viewers because that’s what the viewers like.
There’s some analysts that is pro which provide accurate predictions based in facts and not on hype.

But now? He’s almost 40, and he’s up against a young Ant?
Not gonna happen.

Bron is not the face of Lakers anymore but Luka. Luka is the one that already carrying Lakers while Bron is already doing the support role.
