Information icon Hello, I'm Bagumba. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2000–01 Los Angeles Lakers season, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 04:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why can't simple arithmetic be a reliable source?
The Lakers' 23-1 finish (regular season + playoffs) is never mentioned anywhere (I followed the NBA for 40+ years). It's something I observed. The reason is simple. It can only happen when a team losing only 0 or 1 game in the playoffs.
In the NBA, there has never been a team losing 0 game in the playoff. There were 3 teams losing 1 game in the playoffs.
1983 76ers (12-1 in the playoffs, lost their last game in the regular season, thus they finished 12-1)
2017 Warriors (16-1 in the playoffs, lost their penultimate game in the regular season, thus they finished 17-1)
2021 Lakers (15-1 in the playoffs, won their last 8 games in the regular season, thus they finished 23-1).
In other words, this 23-1 finish, a simple FACT, is NEVER observed by any fans/journalist in the NBA. Rangers00 (talk) 06:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to 2000–01 Los Angeles Lakers season. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is novel synthesis? The Lakers 23-1 finish in a season, best ever in NBA history, is a FACT!!! It's not original research. I explain how this FACT come from. Rangers00 (talk) 14:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
