Imaginary Bill's opinion on this year's Lakers

"The Lakers just hit their 50th win, but they don't really 'feel' like a 50 win team House. Right? It feels like their record should be 48-34, 47-35, somewhere in that range. There was some schedule stuff. It feels like if this season was played 73 times, this would have been their best case, big picture, just from a wins and losses standpoint. Don't you think there's a scenario where Luka rolled his ankle in January, then misses 3 weeks until the All-Star break? It really feels like a lot of things broke their way this year when you look at the Denver injury stuff, that weird Aspiration scandal. The Celtics have the same record as them but the Celtics seem like a more legitimate 50 wins, right?"
