The Dodgers are in the National League West, along with the San Francisco Giants, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres.
The Lakers play in the Western Conference's Pacific Division.
The Lakers have won 22 pacific division championships.
Yes, they did.
The Lakers and Celtics:D
The Lakers finished the 04-05 season with a 34-48 record which was good for a fourth place finish in the Pacific division.
the phoenix suns were the #2 seed in the pacific division. the lakers played a #3seed in the north division the u.jazz the suns would have given the l.a. lakers a much more exciteing and tougher match-up than the jazz. i think it's unfair to have 3-teams in the playoffs from the north division and 4-teams in the south division because they had a better record. i don't think a team is better than another team because they won 1-more game. phoenix suns could have beat the lakers in a 7-game series.
The Celtic-Laker Rivalry is the oldest, most famous, and (in my opinion) the best rivalry in the NBA. Championships: Celtics: 17 Lakers: 16 Finals Appearances: Celtics: 20 Lakers: 30 Division Titles: Celtics: 27 Lakers: 31 Missed Playoffs how many times: Celtics: 10 Lakers: 5 All-Time Winning %: Celtics: 59.4 Lakers: 61.8 So, overall, Lakers because of their numbers and better players.
