The Lakers’ pregame routine has gone viral across social media this season. Led by LeBron James, the Lakers wrap up their warm-up with a bit of synchronisation before walking off the floor.

It’s been a very long time since the Lakers had blowouts like this in consecutive games. You have to go back to mid-November to even find games with margins similar to this, but these Lakers did it in back-to-back days.

The Lakers took an important step toward capturing the Pacific Division title, one of the NBA’s most prestigious awards. Jokes aside, it is interesting how little divisions matter in the NBA.

It’s always good to beat LA. Always. And it’s always good to beat LeBron James. And it’s great that LeBron joined the Lakers in order to make victories all the sweeter. For me, I sometimes wonder what LeBron thinks of Boston in his heart of hearts. He’s far too savvy to say anything out loud […]
