Agreed. Arguably the best game of the year so far was OKC/CLE, but it won't generate the requisite clicks when you talk about that.You're acting as if that is happening in a vacuum. If media covers Lakers more than anyone else, puts them on tv more than anyone else, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It's natural the Lakers will drive the bus if they're the only ones given the keys/gas money.
