Great list. I will watch a lot of the season highlights this offseason stress free. One thing I wanted to point out that a lot of these vids are missing the video id at the end of the link.
A really underrated game and one I thoroughly enjoyed was the November 8, 2019 game vs the Heat. This was the first meeting versus the Heat. It's deceptive because it does not appear to be much of a game, but in fact it was an indicator of how insanely good their defense could be, and almost foreshadowed what happened in Game 6 of the Finals:
Lakers went into that game 6-1, Heat were 6-2. Lakers won the game 95-80. They held the Heat to 35% shooting, but much more eye opening was the Lakers contested almost 90% of the Heat's shots, and held the Heat to 34 points in the second half (sound familiar?) [Vogel's interview discussing the insane contested shot rate the Lakers issued on the Heat]:
Even Eric Spoelstra looked a little in shock about the Lakers D ("that's the most we've struggled"...):

EASILY, Beating down on the Clippers in March where for the first time both teams were fully healthy and active. 💪💪💪
The look on Ballmers face as the Clipper “Home Game” turned into we need to move our asses back to San Diego ASAP! 🤪🤪🤪
Sure icing on the cake was beating down on Milwaukee the next game 💜💛💜💛🏁🏁🏁

Awesome Analysis as always Doc!
Any real hoop fans knew after watching Miami’s first 20 games or so in the regular season that this team was for real. Then adding Andre Igoudala and Jae Crowder only made them tougher.

Good list. I would add Game 4 of the Nuggets series, the one where Murray went nuts but Lakers still won that game.
Yessir!

My favorite moment of the season was probably when Josh Hart received a mouthful of Lebron’s crotch while getting dunked on. It was so bad that Rihanna had to ask Hart if he was okay. 😝 _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant

Posted this elsewhere but basically:
(i) beating Denver on the road and then going into Utah on a back to back and absolutely smoking them (that is when I knew we had *it*); (ii) beating Clippers/Bucks that special weekend in March; (iii) the 20 block game in Detroit, setting all sorts of defensive records (we blocked just over a quarter of all of Detroit's shots that game, most ever since they started tracking back in the 70's); (iv) fun battles with Dallas, including an incredibly clutch DG3 and an amazing LBJ game (39/16/12/4/1); (v) basically any time our D locked down; (vi) AD's buzzer beater; (vii) Dwight's redemption arc; (viii) KCP showing out (like I always knew he would!); (ix) AD's 50 piece against the Wolves; (x) AD's record setting free throw game/40-20; (xi) AD destroying NOP anytime he played them
