I have been a Laker fan for years and i have to say no, I would say at this point the lakers are the number one team in the pacific division. The spurs are still the best overall team in the league let alone the west. The mavericks are only good for regular season as are the suns and will never win a championship with their "no defense" style of play. Utah fell off Golden State has hot flashes and The rockets cant stay healthy. I would say for regular season Lakers are a top 4 team in the playoffs top 2 or 3 because they play defense and when you have Kobe to take over a game anything can happen.
also to explain the difference in them being a better playoff team phil jackson is an amazing coach when it comes to finding the right system to beat a team in a 7 game series and he knows all the head games to play to throw the opposition off. during the season they play each other further apart so its harder to have that edge during the regular season you just have to come out playing hard every night.

Personally, no. The only thing that's keeping them up is Kobe Bryant. Statistically, the San Antonio Spurs are the best team in the west. The Lakers have a pretty good record (18-10), but not good enough to make it to the finals this year. Unless they come up with another man who can match Kobe's amazing talent. And pass the ball more.

no, they're not the best in the west, but i think if they play consistently throughout the rest of the season, they could MAYBE be a top 4 team in the conference

No. Currently, the Spurs are the best team in the Western Conference.
