The Los Angeles Lakers have gone through one of their most challenging seasons in recent memory, with the 17-time NBA champions starting the year with a 2-10 record and, as a result, being written off by most NBA analysts and pundits.
With the 2022-23 NBA regular season in the books, the Lakers were able to defy the odds, battle through all their injury issues, and go on a run to clinch a spot in the Play-in Tournament to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
The Lakers have been one of the hottest teams in the league since the NBA trade deadline in February and will head into this matchup with some much-need momentum.
The storied NBA franchise has been on such a hot streak lately that even Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma believes his former team can reach the NBA Finals.
My hot take.. (but not really) I think the lakeshow can get to the finals..

Kuzma isn’t the only one with faith in the Lakers, as many media members have also jumped on the bandwagon, with Los Angeles being a popular darkhorse-pick to win it all this year.
Undoubtedly, the Lakers have the talent to go the distance this year, with the only primary concern being the health of superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
These two superstars have struggled to stay healthy consistently, and that’s obviously a concern potentially heading into multiple seven-game series in order to go the distance.
However, the Lakers may be able to get it done if their superstars stay healthy while playing at a high level, but only time will tell.
