As the 2025 NBA Playoffs heat up, Lakers superfan Snoop Dogg made headlines on First Take, predicting that the LA Clippers will upset both the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder to clear the path for the Los Angeles Lakers’ 18th championship.

Snoop’s bold vision hinges on LeBron James and Luka Doncic leading the Lakers, with the Clippers playing a crucial supporting role in the Western Conference.

A lifelong Lakers supporter, Snoop expressed confidence in the Clippers, calling them “our little brothers” who will handle top seeds. “They’re gonna take out Denver and OKC,” he said, aiming to ease the Lakers’ path to the NBA Finals. His prediction, reported by ESPN, aligns with the Clippers’ strong playoff roster, featuring stars like Kawhi Leonard, despite their +1000 odds on FanDuel.

Snoop believes in the L.A. squads 🫡

Lakers’ Playoff Momentum

The Lakers levelled their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves at 1-1 with a 94-85 Game 2 win, driven by Luka Doncic’s 31 points and LeBron James’ double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds). Improved defence and chemistry, honed through intense film sessions post-Game 1 loss, signal a deep-run potential, as noted by NBA. The duo’s synergy is peaking at a critical moment, fueling optimism for a Finals push.

FanDuel ranks the Lakers third in Western Conference odds at +850, behind the Thunder (-165) and Golden State Warriors (+650), with the Clippers at +1000. The Lakers face Minnesota next, followed by the Warriors-Rockets winner, and potentially the Clippers in the conference finals if Snoop’s scenario unfolds. The Clippers’ upset potential against Denver and OKC could reshape the bracket, giving the Lakers a clearer shot.

Snoop’s Personal Stake

For Snoop, the playoffs represent a quest for legacy. LeBron is pursuing his fifth championship, while Doncic is aiming to solidify his status as an elite player, carrying the hopes of the Lakers. The Clippers, often overshadowed in Los Angeles, could play a crucial role, as Snoop envisions a collaborative path to success. His comments, shared on X, have sparked debates among fans, with some praising his optimism and others expressing scepticism about the Clippers’ ability to succeed.

Snoop’s prediction is bold but speculative, as the Clippers face a tough Denver squad led by Nikola Jokić and an OKC team with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-calibre play. The Lakers’ reliance on LeBron (age 40) and Doncic’s playoff consistency raises concerns, despite their Game 2 win. FanDuel’s odds reflect scepticism about the Clippers’ underdog role, and Snoop’s bias as a Lakers fan may overstate their impact.

The content strikes a balance between enthusiasm and realistic challenges, using verified statistics and performances to avoid making unverified claims. The success of the Clippers depends on their health and execution, while the Lakers face the challenge of a tough Western Conference. Snoop’s narrative adds a cultural touch but may oversimplify the complexities of playoff dynamics.
