Maybe a stronger schedule would have served us better but I don't buy that all the way. Stronger schedule, I believe, means more injuries and some teams are not blessed with a lot of athleticism especially in their reserves.

A weak schedule also means that you're not used to getting hit in the mouth and having to respond or you're not used to having your backs against the wall in tight game situations. That means everything in the playoffs and in my opinion, it's why the Lakers never make it out of the first couple of rounds.
