The Lakers have been screwed over by having to play only 11 of their first 15 games at Staples, as well as a "killer" b2b schedule.
Not the Lakers. Haha what now Lakers?

oh gosh, we should just not bother to show up and play anymore, we lost such a meaningful statistic.
the Lakers point differential would be better if they didn't blow a 15 point lead to the great Washington Wizards, or lose to the Indiana Pacers even though they led by 15 going into the 4th
I mean most championship teams blow giant leads in the 4th quarter
the team that has won the point differential has won the championship 8 out of the last 10 years
The Lakers historically haven't played well against bad teams.
It's a ty team break for the Lakers right now...just wait for the hard teams to come along again and the Lakers will retake the point differential lead.
We know, just ask the Spurs.
Do you get rings for winning the point differential championship?
The Lakers have blown out most teams they've played. The pt differential stat above 10ppg is meaningless because the Lakers are playing their garbage and super garbage lineups during the last 5 minutes of most games and they usually end up giving back 5-10 pts while the other team tries to make things respectable.
If they wanted to run up the score and whoop teams by 20-30 pts every night they could certainly do that by leaving the starters in and not playing guys like Mihm, Mbenga, and Sun Yue.
Lebron and the Starters for the Cavs have play in the 4th quarter once in 2 weeks- so they manage to win by 20-30 while putting in scrubs
So what you're saying is your scrubs are better than our scrubs? Congrats!
Cavs are deeper than the Lakers, they don't depend on their first unit every night
over the summer they should have a scrubs vs. scrubs tournament
Batman would have been bought front row tickets for sure.
the Cavs only have 2 guys that you could consider scrubs- Tarrence Kinsey and Darnell Jackson (rookie)..other than that they all play
that has to be the saddest ing joke i've ever heard.
Lets just keep the starters in at the 4th so we can make a 20 point lead go to 30. =P
I didn't say it, he said it
No, but based on recent history, it sure as doesn't hurt your NBA championship chance.
Cleveland rocks !
Are you some kind of idiot?
You don't play your scrubs in the playoffs moron. Notice I said scrubs not 2nd unit. There is a difference. Scrubs are completely irrelevant towards winning a championship.
Unless you think Pollard and Scalabrini were the reason BOS won.
LBJ: 35 mpg
Kobe: 33.8 mpg
So your telling me that the Lakers blowing leads to the Pacers and Wizards were because Phil Jackson was insistent on keeping the scrubs in to get Kobe and the first string rest?
And as far as benches go, I would rather have a 10 man rotation of guys that contribute, than have to depend on the same 7 guys every night. That's what I'm sayin
Gasol:34.3 mpg
Wallace: 23 mpg or AV: 24.2mpg
Bynum: 29.7mpg
Z: 26.2 mpg
What's really sad about this thread is that something as inconsequential as point differential has some of you so riled up enough to make a thread about it...or argue about it.
