These guys are really on fire. 19-4 (.826) in last 23 games; 11-2 (.846) since Luka trade...

October 3-2 (.600)
November 8-6 (.571)
December 7-6 (.538)
2024 part of schedule: 18-14 (.563)
January 9-5 (.643)
February 10-2 (.833)
March-to-date: 2-0
2025 part-to-date: 21-7 (.750)

The Lakers flipped a switch in mid-to-late January. Created some urgency and consistency about their team defense, LeBron went throwback mode and is looking the best he's looked in possibly his entire Laker run. This is the best he's played since that 2020 MVP-level season...

I tend to proceed with caution, in that I hope they aren't peaking too early, and that they avoid the injury bug. Bigger challenges remain, obviously. There are bound to be some "WTF" games coming up, and 13 of their last 22 games are vs current Top 6 teams...

So we'll know by the last week of the season, if they are credible, true and honest contenders. But man, the case they are putting on right now, of you're anybody else, you gotta view them as a real threat...

It's silly for anyone to be discussing who the Lakers should duck. This is just like in '20, pre-pandemic when mf's were saying they should try to duck outta a Clippers potential matchup. The Lakers are playing such cohesive, confident, intelligent, urgent basketball, ain't a need to duck shyt! Play your ball, try to stay healthy and keep building and take whoever the fukk comes with where you finish. Bron has never ducked a fade, last year they said Lakers should've ducked Denver and we played to win that 7 seed...

Lakers are gonna take whoever comes with where we finish, and at this point, and like their chances with everybody...

losing to the fukkin Jazz and Hornets at that. :deadrose:

the defense has been the most impressive and that's with LuKAH (As Ma$e would say :russ: )


WCF or bust. They have the ability as long as we not on OKC side of the bracket.

The most interesting thing is that the players are saluting the hell out of the coaching staff in these post game interviews, they have clear plans and objectives each game, you don't normally see that, damn sure wasn't seeing that during the Darvin Ham days
