JJ Redick reveals his expectations for the Lakers and touches on their flaws after recent loss.

The Wizards haven’t won 50 games in a regular season since 1979, the last time they made the NBA Finals. They haven’t been to so much as a conference finals since. The totality of the franchise’s futility since is stark. Since 1979, the NBA has gone through the Magic-Bird era, the Jordan era, the Kobe-Shaq era, the Iverson era, the Spurs’ dynasty, the Warriors’ dynasty, multiple teams (the Pistons, Rockets and Heat) winning multiple championships, rebuilds of the Lakers and Celtics into champ...
