Lakers were considered to have "won the offseason" so I wouldn't say that. Their players didn't perform well enough and sometimes it's as easy as just saying that.
I truly believe the Lakers could have beaten any team other than the Nuggets. They just went to the conference finals last year man.
The Lakers never keep their parts together long enough for true chemistry to develop. LeBron jettisons those he feels should carry the blame for his poor defense to bring in the next star name. Watching the Lakers play is like witnessing a dysfunctional family. Every little error is called out by LeBron, or projected by LeBron onto others. No matter how bad your coach is, you don't yell at him for choosing not to call a coach's challenge. When you have "GOAT" LeBron James should you need a coach's challenge to win a game, or did LeBron want the challenge to soothe his ego?
The only reason the Lakers beat anyone is because of the free throw disparity caused by League Head Office bias.
