Interesting splits for the Lakers:
Against teams at or above .500: 11-7
Against teams below .500: 22-0
So the Lakers absolutely never lose to bad teams, but they aren't all that impressive against good teams. That might be a problem for the playoffs, though this is a small sample size. 11-7 isn't terrible, and your record against good teams will never be super dominant, but this split is interesting.
During the years when the Raptors were choking in the playoffs, they had similar numbers, rarely losing to bad teams.
