During a Championship run? Never, but you can find all sorts random of stats to support whatever your argument. For the record, I do believe it's alarming, but I don't think it's necessarily doomsday. You play the games in the Playoffs for a reason. Who would have bet on GS beating the Mavs a few years ago? Or the Spurs losing to the Mavs? Strange things happen in sports.

Remember also that the Lakers repeat with a homecourt; this year, most likely they won't have homecourt, unless SA going on a injury spree and so are the Celtics, but I don't see that's happening.
Bottom line is Lakers step up NOW or make a nice trade, otherwise, yes, doom is here!  |
Lakers have won Championships without homecourt. I have said this all year long, it's really incredibly difficult to win 3 straight. If the Lakers make it to the Finals again this year, it will be 4 straight appearances to the NBA Finals. I'm not counting them out just yet.
Trade? Propose one that makes sense for all parties involved.
