6th is probably a better spot, and more realistic than passing the Clips. It just seems like somehow Phill will manage to land this team in the 6-hole, and we'll get Denver at home.



Actually, we may need to pass the Clips in order to get the 6th spot. Memphis has an easy schedule AND they own the tiebreaker against us.

I also said a thousand teams were battling for the 7th and 8th spot. Am I a little off there too?


Yes, you're off by 994.

I'm pretty sure 99.9 percent on this board knew I was exaggerating, but thank you for pointing out the obvious. The poster is concerned about the media not giving the Lakers their due and that we're only 3.5 back of the 4th best record. If 2 or 3 losses can drop us to 9th, what's so freaking special about our record? When in the next 8 games, you can move up to 4th or be completely out of the playoff picture, that means that "everybody and their mothers" are bunched up. I'd like to just focus on making the playoffs, period.


Then when discussing the playoffs, stick to topics that focus on only making the playoffs.

No need to subject people that might wish to focus on moving up the ladder, to your ridiculous hyperbole and even more ridiculous excuses, when caught in that hyperbole.


I think he was just pointing something out: 3 1/2 games from the 4th best record in the West is also 3 1/2 games from the 11th best record in the West. Kind of a glass half empty, glass half full kind of thing.
