As the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers battle each other today, I thought about how their seasons are reflective a larger narrative for the NBA’s super teams.
Despite coming into the season with rosters that seemed primed for contention, injuries and lack of cohesion in depth chart rotations have prompted teams like the Dubs, Lakers, Suns, and Mavericks to pull off mid-season trades to put a jolt into their aspirations.
Those Western Conference franchises are looking to solidify their playoff prospects as the regular season starts to wind down; and lucky for us all four of those teams are paired off in action against each other to start your Sunday.
