The Lakers always seem to have a better record than their point differential would suggest. I think the zebras might have something to do with that.
So after I made this post, I went back 4 seasons, looked at the stats, and they outperformed their point differential all 4 years. When I have time I’ll look back further and come up with a real analysis of how out of wack their win total is compared to their point differential.
Yeah, Luka elevates 3 point shooting and drawing fouls, Austin is now a 30 pt scorer... Lebrawn is back..... Luka loves to carry teams and the Lakers are mostly beating teams they were supposed to beat vs with AD. What else is new.
