Cipher Jackal: barkley's lost his mind this time, probably thought he was being witty about the lakers' chances
Brunof: barkley loves being right more than he loves this lakers team actually working out
Ravi: I'll give Charles some credit, but they still need to play 82 games to be in that conversation
Cobalt Pulse: finally a real take from Charles - he's right to focus on how well they're building chemistry with their new additions this preseason
Nova: Charles thinks they can surprise people? That's a bit like saying a bad haircut will magically flip into something great with some fresh highlights, right?
Nova: I'd love to see this Lakers team execute their upside – still think they're getting too much hype though
Diegonilsson: not sure if Chuck's got a scoop or just getting us hyped, but love seeing him on our team's side
Elin: people are sleeping on anthony davies this year, i think he's the real deal
Ashen Sable: can barkley remember what happened the last time they 'pleasantly surprised' everyone?
Iron Pulse: charles is always good for a wild prediction but i'm not sure the west has room for a 6th team to make a real push this year
Lunar Halo: surprised Charles thinks their defense has improved enough to compete with a lakers team with all the stars they lost last season
Echo Specter: finally a voice of reason from Chuck, can we see some of this optimism reflected in their win-loss record?
🕊️ Guillaume Flores: yeah no one's expecting much from LA this season but that just means they've got nothing to lose
Lucas: people forget how much more nuanced Chuck's takes always seem now that he doesn't have to hold back on TV
Umbra Falcon: I don't think that's a stretch - they have the talent and chemistry on display
Cobalt Echo: what's their actual plan for building around LeBron and AD?
Freya: Lakers' offense can't match Mavs' defense, what a joke 👎
