The lockout shortened season.
Had new coach Mike Brown, last year of the Gasol/Bynum big-guy duo.
Last time they won their division. Edged out the Clippers, got a #3 seed, almost blew a 3-1 series lead to Denver.
Went up against OKC with Harden in round 2.
While it went 5 games, the Lakers blew a late lead in game 2 and a big lead in game 4.
(Looking back, they haven't won a playoff game since game 3 of that series.)
And of course, they made the Dwight/Nash summer blockbuster additions, but they were behind the 8-ball so early in 2012-13 that they never were able to really get going because they fell into an early hole.
