Teams better than the Lakers:
Warriors, Rockets, Pelicans, Jazz, Blazers, and possibly Nuggets.
They'll be competing with OKC, Minnesota, and SAS for that 6-8 seed.
However, I have a hard time believing that Lebron won't be able to squeak them in there.
Personally, I think the Warriors, Jazz, Rockets, Nuggets, Thunder (with westy back tonight), and Pelicans are better than the lakers. Lakers would be in that group of Spurs, Blazers, Wolves (with butler), and Clippers.
Im not sure the lakers are the best team in LA really.
