I love it when a plan begins to come together. And while George Peppard wasn’t referring to the Lakers, it does seem as if this LA squad is beginning to look more like the A-Team the front office envisioned as they were piecing the roster together over the past several seasons.
After an unexpectedly hot start, which admittedly only meant a 10-10 record, the team had a rough go of things in December finding themselves sitting at 12-24 when the calendar refreshed for ’17. They’ve looked much better since then, going 3-2 with one of the losses being in Portland, where it’s actually legally forbidden for the Lakers to get a victory.
