It's not a single team (X) that's higher than them though, it's 3

Where do I say that LA is suddenly no good anymore, I said those 3 teams are ahead of the kings therefore at the moment all 3 teams are better and I think after 65 games that's not a bad sample size for the season.

LA is just such a unique situation. Potentially they are the best team in the league but on any given night they can #### the bed.
No matter what system you are using that is going to throw a wrench in your predictive abilities
