“You got a team with 3 Hall of Famers” Shaquille O’Neal makes an extremely bold prediction on the Lakers’ postseason

Previous NBA whiz Shaquille O’Neal hasn’t been intrigued with the LA Lakers’ terrible season. Be that as it may, he actually accepts they will beat the powerful Phoenix Suns assuming the two teams meet in the first round of the end of the season games.

The Lakers are presently 10th in the Western Conference standings with a 31-42 record. They are probable heading into the play-in competition and should dominate two back to back knockout matches to meet all requirements for the end of the season games in the event that they don’t figure out how to complete eighth.

Assuming LA comes to the end of the season games, they will probably face the association’s best record holders, the Suns, in the first round.

Very few would allow the LA Lakers an opportunity to cause an annoyance, taking into account how unfortunate they have been contrasted with the Phoenix Suns. Nonetheless, Shaquille O’Neal appears to be certain of LeBron James and co. chances as they will have vital participants like Anthony Davis back for the end of the season games.

This is what the previous MVP said on the most recent episode of his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq’:

“I am disappointed in my Lakers, a lot of people are. We all forgot about their ages, ‘oh Westbrook’s coming, oh they got Carmelo.’ Like we’re used to having teams with big-name stars on it. So you’ve got a team with three Hall of Famers. You’d think they’d be in six or seven, and then AD’s not playing.” Shaquille O’Neal continued: “So I doubt they even make the play-in game. But if they do, they definitely have to win and they will face Phoenix in the first round. And if they make it to the eighth spot, they will beat Phoenix.”

Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James

Shaquille O’Neal has condemned the LA Lakers on a few events this season. The Lakers were relied upon to be competing for a best four completion in the Western Conference before the beginning of the mission. Be that as it may, an unfortunate beginning to the year, trailed by wounds to the team’s co-commanders, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but the 17-time champions in some hot water.

They currently face the chance of not making the play-in competition by any means as they are just two games in front of the eleventh cultivated San Antonio Spurs and are 11 games underneath the .500 imprint. In any case, Shaquille O’Neal trusts that assuming the Lakers’ breakthrough to the play-in and finish as the eighth seed, they will beat Phoenix since they will have Davis back.

“AD gonna be back,” said Shaq. “Shaqstradamus will be correct. Westbrook’s been playing bad, all it takes is for certain people like that to just play good one or two games and then it snaps right back.”
