It might be too early to declare the NBA Western Conference playoffs finished, considering the Lakers have played only one game and didn’t finish that one decisively.

But Johnny Ludden of Yahoo!Sports has seen enough to know the Lakers were the best team in the West during the regular season and are still improving.

‘Considering how powerful the Lakers already are, that should worry their West peers,’’ Ludden writes. ‘The biggest challenge the West has produced for its reigning champs? Boredom.’’
