In the midst of the 1982-83 season, the Lakers were firing on all cylinders and made cake out of their foes. Magic was in peak form with his delegation of the offense. During the first four games of 1983, the Lakers whipped their opponents by 15 points and two margins of 18 points, all but one being road games, and barely lost in overtime to the '83 Sixers at Philly.

Jan. 2, 1983 - W 127-112 vs. Detroit
Jan. 5, 1983 - L 120-122 (OT) at Philadelphia
Jan. 6, 1983 - W 125-107 at Cleveland
Jan. 8, 1983 - W 108-90 at New York

This is one of the most impressive four-game runs I've seen. If the Lakers played like this over a four-game series, which championship teams do you foresee them losing to (besides the '83 Sixers, of course)?

Wow, has any team ever won 3 of 4 regular season games since?

You have a natural talent for making threads nobody cares about.

They'd probably beat the 87 Lakers!

All you care about is Michael Jordan and LeBron. You don't even talk about the team that's your namesake.
