The Los Angeles Lakers are one step away from making it to the Western Conference Semifinals! Another masterclass from Anthony Davis and some heroics from Lonnie Walker pushed the Lakers over the Warriors in Game 4. LA is on the cusp of returning to the WCF for the first time since their 2020 Finals run. Only one thing stands between them and a series win: a dog.
Yes, it's a dog that currently holds the fate of the Lakers and the Warriors. Prior to the start of the second round, a TikTok was posted of a corgi dog making its “predictions” on who will win the series. The adorable fluffy fella had Golden State advancing by coming back from a 3-1 deficit. People paid the dog no mind… until he started being right.

First off, let's just say this: that is one cute dog! The corgi's adorable aura didn't stop Lakers fans from freaking out and cursing the dog for making the picks.
Stop putting that dog on my TL LeBron isn’t choking a 3-1 lead

Some Lakers fans laughed at the Warriors fanbase now praying for a dog to basically save their season.

Other fans pointed out that this dog isn't Nostradamus. In fact, it already broke the hearts of LA fans when it predicted the Dodgers to advance over the Braves in the 2021 NLCS.

Of course, NBA Twitter had plenty of jokes about a dog somehow getting four consecutive games right.
