Kendrick Perkins questions Lakers' title hopes despite strong start

The Los Angeles Lakers hold the best record in the NBA at 11-2 but have not secured any notable victories, according to Kendrick Perkins. He argues that the team's wins lack significance, particularly against top opponents. The Lakers’ upcoming game against the San Antonio Spurs on November 27 presents a chance for a headline win. Perkins and Richard Jefferson highlighted that true contenders such as the Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder pose a challenge for the Lakers, particularly with concerns regarding their defensive performance, ranked 18th in the league. The Lakers next face the Phoenix Suns on November 15.
