Yay, lets tank for a top-10 pick :roll:
I like Rondo too, but most mediocre teams (hi there) have a slump or two
in any given season.
This is our most pronounced 3-game slide of the season, and by the end
of the season may be what we look back at as our "slump" - but it's way too early to start thinking lotto. This team has overperformed most of the
season. Three (very) bad games is not enough, especially given our
injuries and the road-trip, to write them team off like that. |
I am not saying tank the season.
I am saying we better not end up 11-14.
Don't know how big of a whole the Lakers will be in by the time Lamar and Mihm are back.
If we are in 10th place with 6 games to go and five games out of the playoffs then yes;kobe don't pass a single time shoot at least 40 shots per game and secure the scoring title. |

I hear ya, I was just playing about the tanking part...
I feel what you're saying, kind of like "if we don't make the playoffs
we might as well end up in the top-10 so we keep the pick." |

Are you sure it's top-10 protected?
I think we're gonna go 38-44, land in the lottery, 10th-12th pick. _________________ Treasure Trooper

YES.

It is top-10 protected this year and and top- 5 next year.
It was traded to Boston which traded it to Atlanta which traded it to Phoenix in the Joe Johnson trade.
If we end up 11-14th not only do we end out out of the playoffs without our pick but to add insult to injury in goes to division rival and leader Phoenix. |

The draft sucks, so who cares. Just make the damn playoffs. That's all we should care about. _________________ The great Laker Center Tradition continues.....Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Gasol, AD....Gasol. |

I predict maybe 5th but more likely 6th seed if we have a full compliment of healthy players soon. Without Odom (especially) or Mihm for an extended period of time we come close but fail to make the playoffs depending upon how long they are unavailable. The one positive at this point is that we will soon be through the worst of our schedule this season. _________________ Rule = win titles
