Colin Cowherd: âI donât think the Lakers are a championship team. One of the reasons is that they have no wiggle room. You gotta have wiggle room to win championships. Bad things happen and guys get hurt. They have no wiggle room and yesterday was a prime example. AD is a little off, LeBron takes a little break, and Toronto goes on a 10-0 run. Weâve been raised in this NBA of âOK, you got two starsâ, but if you look at the third best player on letâs say the last 7 championship teams, THAT is the key. Kyle Lowry, Klay Thompson x 2, Kevin Love, Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Chris Bosh x 2. If Klay Thompson is your 2, youâre a really good team. If Klay Thompson is your 3 youâre getting into dynasty status⌠With the Lakers itâs Kyle Kuzma, who is having his worst year, and a player that is so young that heâs still wildly inconsistent and doesnât have that âIâm gonna walk into the arena and drop 22â feel to him⌠Everyone takes away so much from the Clippers game but Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams, two of their top 6 guys, did not play. I just donât think this Lakers team is a championship team. I think theyâre good, and I theyâre fun, but yesterday with AD off they had BIG struggles.â (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he doesnât think the Los Angeles Lakers are championship contenders, despite the Lakersâ huge victory over the Clippers to begin the leagueâs âBubbleâ reboot.
Colin has been under the impression all season that Los Angeles doesnât have enough talent behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis to beat a team like the Clippers, Bucks, or Celtics in a seven-game series.
Check out the video above as Colin details why NBA titles donât come down to who your two stars are, but rather, your two stars PLUS your third best player.
