Under normal circumstances, the phrase would be “anticipation is at a fever pitch” when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers. But kids, these are not normal circumstances, nothing normal about them. Well, unless you go back to when the Lakers were stacked and going for a championship was the normal thing.
Those days are a distant memory as the team has been wallowing in the far downs and hasn’t even sniffed the sweet fumes of the playoffs in way too many years now. So trust me when I say, and most of you true fans will agree, this is way beyond the normal fever pitch.
