The Lakers are playing so great that fans are now actually looking forward to the games

The Los Angeles Lakers look like a completely new team in every sense of the word, as not only they incorporated six new players in the trade deadline, but the energy and chemistry are palpable now.

The players enjoy every minute of every game and even praise each other online, in the post-game pressers and interviews, and in the practices.

LeBron James looks content with the new team and even expressed it on his Twitter, and the most important thing is that the Lakers fandom isn't dreading every new game now, as they have been suffering ever since last year. On the contrary, everyone, even the NBA media, looks forward to the games.

The Lakers' formula to win games now is their defense

Even when the coach Ham Lakers had a terrible first quarter defensively speaking on Friday night game against the Raptors, the team made adjustments and course corrected to get the win. The Lakers, since the trade, have become the No. 1 defense of the league.
