Lakers definitely the best team

[Eric Cartman]

Looks like the OP is right again and it was from last November and the Lakers finished the season as one of, or the hottest team entering into the playoffs, till Mamba tore his tendon.

If the tear never happened they probably go on to the Finals, seeing how the team they lost to, gets dominated by Kobe.

If Westbrook doesn't get injured it isn't even a discussion which of those 2 teams would've represented the Western Conference.

they were on a league mandated tear because they were playing every game with the refs on their team so they could make the playoffs for ratings.

It's been a while now and some of you may have forgotten, but some of those late season games in the west were absolute BULLSHIT in the lakers favor
