Lakers title hopes begin — and end? — with LeBron and Anthony Davis
This Lakers preview column wanted to be trendy. Thus leads this column to the one question every Lakers fan must ask themselves before what could be the most exciting Lakers season since they won their last 82-game championship a distant 13 years ago. If you do, you’ll believe these Lakers have a good chance of returning to the Western Conference finals and a decent chance of turning last spring’s four-game sweep on its head. Lakers stars Anthony Davis, left, and LeBron James carry the weight of the Lakers’ championship hopes on their shoulders again this season. He hasn’t played in anything close to a full season since he came to the Lakers five years ago, and every season he misses large chunks of time because of injuries, the latest being a foot problem that hampered him through last spring’s playoffs.
