Let's Take a Minute to Appreciate

Let's take a minute to appreciate...

That this Laker team has the highest winning % that the Lakers have had since 2008-2009.

The Lakers finished 65-17 and won the Title that year.

Even though the naysayers still talk about what this Laker team doesn't have, the fact is they are 45-12.

We've come out of at least 6 seasons of being garbage, to being a contender once more.

Here's to this team finishing the season strong and staying 100% healthy throughout the entire playoffs!

Yes, appreciation in full bloom from over here. Still lots of room for improvement before the playoffs. Defensive rotations in the second and third units are not locked in. KCP and Howard had PnR mojo a few weeks back, seemed to have synergy and the same rhythm. Play them together almost always, Frank! Great chemistry.

This Lakers team is pretty equal to the 2008-9 team I think/

Anyone else going to find it weird seeing playoff LeBron in a Lakers jersey?

He's pretty ingrained in the team by now but the playoffs are where he shines and he hasn't been there in a Lakers jersey yet.

Good point. And IIRC, playoffs LeBron includes good defense. Here’s to a healthy and complete roster entering the playoffs!

If healthy, it’s gonna be hard to beat us in seven games.

Yep, no matter who the Lakers face in the playoffs, 2 of the 3 best players in the series will be on their team. That was the case in 08-09 as well.
