One of the most fun times of the year as a basketball fan kicked off over the last week with the start of the NBA playoffs. The play-in games produced plenty of drama and excitement and also left Los Angeles without a playoff basketball team (shoutout to the Clippers).
The start of the playoffs themselves over the weekend provided equally exciting games, highlighted by the showdowns between the Grizzlies and Timberwolves and the Celtics and Nets. But one thing is abundantly clear when looking at the postseason through purple-and-gold-tinted glasses.
The Lakers are very far off the mark.
