34-48 would not have gotten the lakers in the east playoffs either![]()
true. but instead of playing most games against the tough west, they'd play em against weaker eastern conference teams. so that woulda given them at least 10 more wins. record woulda been minimum 44-38.

i forgot how the west was packed with PFs. easliy 3 of the top 5 PFs of all time in one conference in one era
