    Here are some interesting Lakers facts below:
    1. Did you know the Lakers free throw differential over the last two seasons is well over +1100 more free throws than their opponents? They lead the league in that category. The second place team doesn’t even crack +350.
    2. Did you know that if you combined the free throw differential of the teams in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place the Lakers would still have a comfortable lead over that team?
    3. Did you know that the Lakers have shot more free throws than their opponent’s in 22 out of the last 23 games? The one game they shot less was by 4 free throws.
    4. Did you know that during a recent game where the Lakers played the Timberwolves they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota’s 11? This was a game Lebron missed and Anthony Davis sat for 3 and a half quarters due to injury.

Lebron was like what 1/8 in the 4th? Not his best game but the lakers still pulled it out due to AD getting that clutch rebound that actually was prob an offensive foul but oh well.

    There was ONLY 3 minutes left and that team could NOT step up for their leader at his moment of weakness? I believe this team is racked with injuries. Actually even Alvarado isn't completely healthy. They played their hearts out this year, but Zion having to carry the load without Brandon Ingram because Brandon/CJ McCollugh had to carry the team (during Zion's absence) for a couple years just was too exhausting. This team should feel good about getting as far as they did and JUST regroup and heal wounds and come back next year. If i'm management, i get one more athletic center and move Larry Nance to Power forward behind Zion. I'd ONLY work on getting better role players (keeping ONLY Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall and Herbert Jones). All names mentioned would stay, names not mentioned must go.
