    Idiots calling the Lakers a fringe playoff team with playoff woes. They literally beat the 2nd ranked team in the West last year in 5 games and then beat the previous reigning champions in 6. They were in the WCF and lost to the eventual champs by a total margin of 24 points. On average, the games were decided by 2-3 possessions. The fact that you’re trying to make them sound like some aspiring team like the Clippers or Knicks is just asinine.

      And the 5 years prior they either lost in the 1st round or missed the playoffs completely. Without a global health disaster they don’t have a shot in 2020. The Lakers are ok but saying that they are the 5th best team in the NBA is beyond lunacy.
