When your looking for a formula as they have most of the season they don't have a solid identity.

MDA took over 5 games into the season. They have been in chaos most of the season.

And they will still make the playoffs and are now playing with the hot balls, 29-30 maybe 2 or 3 games behind Utah and Houston, Golden State is there too. It will be one of those three,

I've actually been watching every Lakers game and they do indeed have things sorted out. They may not be as good of a team as they thought they'd be, but they are winning games at a higher rate now. You can see they have chemistry now. They have a style of play that fits the roster they have left. Guys have regular minutes and roles. They have confidence and trust each other now. You can see that they are well coached and understand what they want to do. They're playing MDA's half court spread the floor style and they're moving the ball and getting good player movement as well. Lots more easy baskets but they still turn it over a bit too much.

They still have a older and slow team, which is a poor match for some teams with a lot of young, fast and athletic players. If they should make the playoffs they'll be a tough team to play. Kobe, Nash, Howard, MWP and Clark are a very good starting 5 and can match up with a lot of teams.

That's strange....

I've seen you posts on several occasions you miss lots of Knicks games? Work getting in the way? Family getting in the way? Did you miss Knick games when D'AnToni was coaching here because as you said you've watched every single Laker game and they've played at several different times since he's been the coach of their team....
