1 win guarantees at least a play in spot. Win out and they avoid the play in.

Avoiding being out of the playoffs:
1 win or Mavs loss they finish ahead of Mavs (don’t have the tiebreaker)
1 win or Jazz loss they finish ahead of Jazz (tiebreaker not determined yet)

Thunder:
1 win or Thunder loss and finish ahead of OKC (have the tiebreaker)

Wolves:
Combination of 3 Lakers wins and/or Wolves losses (don’t have the tiebreaker)

Pelicans:
Just have to tie or finish with a better record on remaining games (have the tiebreaker).

Clippers:
Win the Clippers game and have to end up with more wins than them (don’t have the tiebreaker).

Warriors:
Finish with 1 more win than Warriors over the last 4 games (have the tiebreaker)

 

[thasoleful1]

Def want Kangs 1st round. Hoping Suns and Warriors beat each other up 1st round, either way good team will be eliminated. Clippers go play in and get ******

 

[drewsone]

if we win out the lowest we can finish is 6 right?

can end up 5th if lac throws games

7th would be the lowest if they win out.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Rui and Vando will help make things tough on KD, allowing Bron the freedom to do his damage.

AD got a score to settle with Ayton.

Schroder and DLo will menace CP3.

Let Booker get his 30. Reaves, imo, is the Lakers' perfect counter to Booker. Should help Beasley get open looks too.

Lakers depth > Suns depth.

Give me PHX. Eliminate PHX in the 1st rd, then the psychological effects of the intimidation factor begins to set in on the rest of the West opponents.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Think they split with Utah but also think the dubs lose at least one if not two more games, maybe even on purpose. Gonna be a rematch with the suns

 

[darthska]

Reminiscing.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Isn't Utah in Full Tank mode? they've handed the keys over to THT the past few games . I'm hoping this isn't another situation when a team comes out like it's the finals againt L.A

I prefer The Kings because IMO That's a perfect Tone setter for Bron/AD that Defense is absolute Food & the Kings in total are Small.

Definitely not scared of the Suns if it happens either, They are extremely Thin past their big four & we have a bunch of looks to throw at KD. CP3 & Booker are Great but they aren't super athletic & those are the type of guards who give the Lakers problems. AR/D'Lo/Dennis/TBJ aren't at a physical disadvantage against Phoenix.

We can also throw a mix of Vando/Rui/Bron/AD at KD the whole series. We saw how Boston & their Wings got Physical wit em, the gameplan is ther.

Just need this team to handle business first, But there's a lot of teams worried right now

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Utah has been covering almost every game and are still planning to bring back Clarkson and Sexton. They got 3 ex Lakers . They're gonna be hell

 

[Korofi]

We still need another Big. Can we sign Demarcus?

 

[trynafeelmink]

Man has responded everytime this season
