Patrick Beverley Dishes Out a Guarantee in Speech to Lakers Fans

Patrick Beverley is feeling pretty confident.

The Los Angeles Lakers defensive specialist is wasting no time in making bold promises to Los Angeles Lakers fans. Patrick Beverley addressed Lakers fans prior to Thursday night’s home opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. In his pregame speech to the fans from halfcourt at Crypto.com Arena, Beverley boldly said the Los Angeles Lakers would be making the playoffs.

“Laker Nation, on behalf of myself, my teammates, the coaching staff, the organization, it’s going to be a hell of a year this year,” Beverley said. “We’re going to have a lot of ups, lot of downs, stick through us. We’re going to the playoffs. We’re trying to make some real good s— happen.”

Beverley is in his first season with the Lakers, and he’s been known to say boisterous things at times throughout his career. Beverley played for the Clippers for four seasons and was a major part of  the rivalry with the Lakers. Now he’s on the other side of the rivalry.  For Lakers fans sake, hopefully his guarantee comes true, although they are off to a pretty bad 0-2 start.

Beverley’s teams have made the playoffs in every year of his career except 2017-2018, when he missed most of the season due to a knee injury.

Good luck trying to keep that streak alive.
