top five in offensive effciency and top ten in defensive effciency right now...once everyone is back healthy they'll win 50 easily

what clown ass site has them top ten defensively? i have them ranked near the bottom 10. but that will improve when nash comes back im sure. you cant simply look at raw efficiency data and come to a full conclusion. you have to adjust it to strength of opponent. holding poor offensive teams to low offensive outputs makes the lakers defense look way better than it actually is when it plays a team that has a pulse on offense. they get shredded when they play quality offenses

Those efficiency numbers are skewed because this team :eat: during garbage time when other teams stop playing. The numbers show that they almost walked into OKC and got a win tonight. Reality says otherwise. When they're up 20 at the end of games, they're bombing 3's and padding stats the same way they did tonight.

How talented are they REALLY though? And it's hard for talent to win out when it's sitting on the bench or sitting at home.

that talent will be back soon enough. By the time they're back they'll be the team we expected.

Besides, what would it take to get into the playoffs? 47 wins this year maybe? It's still doable and it's not as if everyone else took off and dusted y'all. Still time to make up the ground. 2 good weeks can make up that time.

The heat were a better constructed team with 3 all-star players in their prime.
