Los Angeles Lakers
The first team prediction was calling for the Los Angeles Lakers to finish 30th in the NBA. I wasn’t far off, as I had no confidence in the Lakers front office decisions in free agency. Ultimately, I wasn’t far off the mark.
PREDICTED FINISH: 30th 21-61
ACTUAL FINISH : 28th 26-56
What I got right: I actually came pretty close to this team’s outcome. I saw Ingram struggling for starts in his first season. I also pointed to the offense of this team as the best statistic.
What I got wrong: I never expected the Los Angeles Lakers to start the season with a 10-10 start. Remove that brief period of respectability and I am spot on. 40 percent of the Lakers wins occurred in the first 20 games.
