And last year's team gave the Lakers a serious scare almost winning game 1 and 4. Win either one of those games and the series is tied at 2 and then things get sticky. But, unlike last year, this team doesn't beat itself, is more flexible on offense, has a variety of weapons, and it getting better, not worse, as the season goes on. And this team is actually beating good teams this year, 2-0 against the Spurs, knocking off Dallas, beating Memphis twice, etc., last year's team didn't really do that, and tended to be stagnant.
