I think this team is better than the record says it is, we lost by 1 (or was it 2) to a Chicago team, the only ugly loss was the Denver one and we could have easily been 12-3 or 13-2.

the mind frame that this team needs to blow up its roster to get better or have a chance at a title. But after reading this, it is great to put things into perspective. The Lakers at this point are not that far off from having a solid chance of making it to the Finals.

by the way, does anyone know where the Lakers rank defensively up to this point? I don’t think I saw that on the article and I am just curious.

I hope we get better shooting from increased comfort with Brown’s sets and guys settling into more consistent rotations, IMO Pau is 3rd option in name only and maybe he and AB should admit the the extra touches are based on our better advantage.
Brown has said he hopes we are consistent by the All Star break and as anxious as it makes me, that is probably our reality.

One thing for sure. The Lakers are committed to D and that is a good thing. Defenders gonna defend!
