They should have already won 40 games but I guess they couldn't beat the Hornets, Suns, Rockets or Grizzlies

1-2 vs. Suns

1-2 vs. Rockets

2-1 vs. Grizzlies

2-0 vs. Grizzlies


If those teams were in the East the East Teams wouldn't be struggling to put those teams away like the Lakers have

Suns, Rockets and Grizzlies have excelled against the East this year.
They all have winning records against East Coast opponents and the Grizzlies have honestly wiped the floor with the East.

So no...
if those teams were in the East they would not be put away without a struggle.
