Series pick: Lakers in seven
I can honestly see this series going several ways. I could see either one of these teams winning in five or six games while I can also see either one of these teams winning in a decisive Game 7. And I predict that’s where we’re heading. This series between the Lakers and Warriors will live up to its billing and will go the distance. It will be decided in a Game 7 on the Warriors’ home floor.
And history says that the home team generally wins Game 7. However, I’m going to give the edge to the Lakers in a theoretical Game 7. I would ride LeBron and AD over Steph. Will I be wrong? I could be. And I wouldn’t be surprised. However, I simply believe that the Lakers are coming together and are clicking at the right time. The stars could be aligning for this team, as they did a few years ago in the NBA playoff bubble in 2020.
The Lakers will win this series in seven games and advance to meet the winner of the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. And this series will be quite the battle.
