The NBA regular season is now coming to an end, and the Lakers are currently in 3th place in the West with 0 wins and 0 losses. In the last game, they defeated the Thunder, who were the first in the West, at home, which also caused fans to discuss, can the Lakers win the championship this season? What do commentators at home and abroad think about this issue?

Before we talk about that, let's look at a set of data. The Lakers sent Anthony Davis, the core of the team's building over the past few years, to the Mavericks this season, and traded for Doncic, a ball-handling centerman, in a deal that completely changed the Lakers' offensive and defensive systems. Due to the collapse of the deal with the Hornets Ma Wei, the Lakers' lack of interior line was undoubtedly exposed, which directly led to their current average rebounds per game only ranking 2th in the league and blocking 0th in the league. Don't look at Doncic playing very hard, but his arrival actually did not solve the team's offensive problem, the instability of outside projection makes the Lakers' average points per game only 0th in the league, but fortunately, their free throw rate is still 0th in the league. Can such a Laker win the championship? What do professional commentators at home and abroad think?

Yang Yi: In the forward era, the Lakers are still the favorites to win the championship.

No team in the NBA is perfect, and teams in the West that have a championship contender have their own problems. The first Thunder's outside projection is unstable, Alexander, Joe, Wiggins and other people are difficult to guarantee three points, and they are also most afraid of the team dominated by the core of the forward, and the Bucks will see the problem in the cup. The Nuggets' problem is that they have a serious lack of space, and Gordon is forced to shoot more threes because he needs space to break through. It's still the age of strikers, and the Celtics are still the best team to win a championship. But the Lakers have a lot of defensive fronts to play against them, and when they put on a five-forward combination, both height and mobility are difficult for other teams to match, and the aggressiveness on the defensive end was suffocating in the game against the Nuggets.

In terms of the ability to handle key balls, James and Doncic's dual-core mode is obviously higher than that of other teams, even Celtics' Brown and Tatum cannot be compared with them. We all doubt that the 40-year-old James has a physical problem, but with the arrival of Doncic, James has played more and more easily. The Lakers are definitely the favourites to win the championship.

蘇群：內線空虛，湖人奪冠希望渺小！

The Lakers have little hope of winning the championship because they don't have good interior players. Don't think that if you win Jokic once, you can win all the time, Jokic is always a hurdle that the Lakers can't cross. The Lakers' current roster is without the center's interior scoring and rim protection after trading Anthony Davis. When it comes to a best-of-seven series in the playoffs, you have to win four games. James' physicality, defense inside and outside, it's hard to believe they can win a championship.

王猛：陣容缺席，湖人很難突圍！

The problem for the Lakers is also the team's roster. Without a reliable center, you won't be able to solve your frame protection problem in the first place. You need a lot of players to help defend, which consumes a lot of energy and requires good communication on the defensive end. But back to that sentence, who can stop Jokic? In the high-intensity competitive environment of the playoffs, James's age is there, and Doncic's instability and defense make it look difficult for the Lakers to break through.

Perkins: Once Jammy, now Jammy!

In the past, Perkins was always not optimistic about James, and was once identified as James Black by fans. With Doncic's arrival, Perkins' attitude changed dramatically. He said James will now be in contention for another championship and Doncic's stellar play will lead Redick to become a contender for Coach of the Year. The Lakers are clearly one of the most championship-contending teams in the league right now.

The Lakers currently have the initiative in the Western Conference standings, and although the team has been bumpy this season, there really doesn't seem to be any team in the West that can scare them at the moment. Rivers' recent stable play has made the Lakers truly change from a two-big two to a three-giant, and not taking Rivers in the Mavericks trade is definitely the biggest help to the Lakers.
