Right now, I’d say we’ve got two really competitive games ahead that could end up being playoff spoilers: the Wolves and the Suns. Other than those, the rest of our schedule is against teams that pretty much don’t have much left to play for. With the way we’ve been playing, I still think there’s a real chance we could climb as high as the 3rd or 4th seed. We’re on a four-game win streak right now, and hopefully we can ride that momentum all the way up to 3rd.
Well, they may have something on the line. OKC is only 2 games up on San Antonio, and the Spurs own the tiebreaker.
Dropping those lakers game is going to hurt us now, especially resting sengun for one of those games....
Lakers are the new dodgers. They will get every call and make it to the conference finals. Best to avoid them until then.
no tests released yet, let’s say he misses 3-4 weeks. Playoffs start April 18th. He could rest the first 2 games, but I’m sure he will play.
Looks like the 2nd Seed would have an easier path to the WCF......but tradeoff would be losing HC advantage to the 1st Seed.
Luka’s hamstring opens up a path to the third seed. Can’t be dropping silly losses the rest of the way. Are you listening, Ime? We should be favored in every game the rest of the year.
The Rockets better keep winning and not settle for 6th. If Luka misses time, the Lakers could easily fall below the Nuggets. The worst thing we could do is tank for 6th and wind up facing Denver.
Lakers have the tiebreaker over the Nuggets. If the Nuggets lose tomorrow it’s going to be tough for them to pass the Lakers. Pretty much comes down to the game tomorrow IMO.
I disagree. If Luka is out, the Lakers could easily lose 3-4 more games. They have another one with OKC, Dallas is always motivated against them thanks to Nico's dumb ass, Golden State is also motivated just because of the rivalry with LeBron, and Phoenix is trying to solidify the 7th seed.
Injuries happen - as well as other stuff... which is why a favored team winning is never guaranteed - and why u keep swinging! Now we just need Shai and Wemby to miss some time...
don’t want lakers in general. Luka misses 2 games max and the refs will die on the court for the calls.
