Los Angeles Lakers: Why the Lakers will be the NBA’s most electric team
By Jason Reed
Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers are extremely excited for the 2019 season as their team is primed to be one of the most electric in the league.
The Los Angeles Lakers are entering a new era in the franchise that will hopefully go down in history alongside the past great eras. If LeBron James and Anthony Davis can somehow get at least two rings, then this period for the Lakers will undoubtedly cement itself in the record books.
We still have a long way to go before even considering as the Lakers have to first get through an 82-game season and make the playoffs for the first time in six years. That alone will feel like a big accomplishment for the team, especially after all of the suffering the fans have endured the last half-decade.
Unless something crazy and unfortunate happens, the Lakers are a near-lock for the playoffs. There is too much talent on that team to not win enough games to make the playoffs.
While the Lakers look to carve their way through the regular season, they are going to give plenty of fans something to talk about. The Lakers are going to be exciting this year, which is a breath of fresh air after all of the losing the last six years and all of the chaos in the last year or so.
Not only are they going to be entertaining, but they are also going to be one of the most electric teams in the league. I wrote a similar piece with the same premise about the New Orleans Pelicans (which you can find here), and here are the Lakers’ three reasons for being the league’s most electric.
