In the past, the Los Angeles Lakers have won the best playoff record in NBA history. However, this year the Lakers missed the playoffs for the fifth time in their franchise history. The team has also had trouble with chemistry in their starting lineup and bench rotation. So if the Lakers are going to make a title run this season, they have to improve those two areas.

First, they need to figure out how to get chemistry on the court among their rookies. Ideally, they should look to trade or sign a star player like Kyrie Irving, who has been linked to a move to the Lakers.

Second, the Lakers have to stay healthy. Last year, LeBron James missed 56 games and Anthony Davis missed 40. Both players have to remain healthy to maintain their consistency. While they can play through injuries, they need to avoid getting hurt themselves. This is not an easy task, and both need to be mindful of their health.

Finally, the Lakers have to find a way to keep their best players healthy for the rest of the season. They were forced to play without Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard for most of the season, and while they did have some help with Byron Scott and Russell Westbrook, they were still without their star players. But with LeBron and Davis on the roster, the Lakers have a chance to return to the Finals.

During this same period, the Lakers had an incredible regular season. The team won 31 of its first 36 games, finishing second in the Pacific Division. As a result, the Lakers were given the chance to play against Seattle, which was a good matchup for them, since the Sonics were a defending NBA champion.

After winning seven of their first eight games, the Lakers faced a daunting task in game six. Not only did they need to keep their lead over the Portland Trail Blazers, but they had to win a game that would determine the series. The Lakers won a game in regulation and then tied the game in the fourth quarter. That turned out to be the turning point of the series, as the Lakers erased a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter and won game six in overtime.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a lot more successful than they used to be. Their record of 67-15 in 1986-87 was the best of any team in the NBA that year. Earlier in the 1980s, the Lakers won five NBA championships under the leadership of Magic Johnson. He is the only player in history to win three of the league's finals MVP awards.

In addition, the Lakers have the best postseason record in NBA history. Since moving to Los Angeles, the Lakers have won 15 championships and have had two three-peats in the postseason.

With two championships in the past three years, the Lakers have proven they can compete with the best teams in the league. But their regressing trend this season has not helped their cause.
