RECAP
The Lakers make the post-season for the 5th time in 6 years and while they didn't win a title, it doesn't matter because THIS IS THE LAKERS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THEM BEING A CONSISTENT PLAYOFF TEAM WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Larry Frank retired but management signed to a free agent deal and he made the club younger and filled that spot admirably. Gone is
Brian Kovach as well.
I think really while it's disappointing to not make it back to the Finals, I can't really say I had any expectations of this team. At least it wasn't a massive regression, tbh.
We're going to expand the 2nd round and beyond to best-of-seven starting next year too. But this Lakers club is very young - our oldest player is 31 - so it'll be interesting to see if management can keep the core group together or not.
The Wizards beat Seattle to win the NBA title.
