The Lakers are Going to End up as the #7 Seed

The Lakers could end up anywhere from 6th to 9th at this point. You can't plan anything around them right now.

They also look terrible.

But can you say with certainty which 3 of the LAL/LAC/DEN/PHO you rather play? Not to sound like a blind fan but if we are the best we will have to stop worrying about who we play and just play our best basketball because at our best no one beats us.

Its true... would just like to avoid Lebron and playing 2 others in that tier. It feels like the year we landed Houston (95-96) because they were unhealthy and they ended up being the champs.

I think if you gave me a choice of teams I'd like to avoid it'd go:

- Clips
-Lakers
-Phoenix
-Denver

Porty, Dallas are a tier below those teams imo. Would like to get one of them or Memphis in the 1st.

We already got a matchup we wanted last season and we were kicked out. If you are really aiming at the highest prize than you will have to beat great teams on the way. West is stacked and there is no way around imo.

Last year we positioned ourselves to avoid some teams... Denver was good but that was a better matchup. If Murray doesn't go supernova or if we were healthy we pull that one out.

Yeah, targeting Denver was the right decision. I think the Jazz had some guys that just didn't want to be in the bubble. The Jazz stopped playing defense.
 
I didn't catch the Shroeder news... man... they are screwed.

Win tonight and we have a chance to get DM or Mike back fairly soon and can handle the rest of the schedule. Hope for some luck.
 
If the Lakers lose to Portland Friday on the back end of a back to back... they won't have the tie breaker against the Blazers or Mavs. I'm like 90% certain they land as the #7.

LeBron James Slams NBA’s New Play-In Tournament

Mavs owner Mark Cuban has called the new concept an “enormous mistake.”

Or perhaps this is LeBron’s way to send a message to get an unofficial bye for the play-in.

I've been a Lebron defender but this is serious lols... There is another tweet where he basically advocates for a play in years ago. This is just a dude being a crybaby about this thing not going his way. Like when my kids scream "its not fair". Adam Silver should come out with a rebuttal and just say "too bad so sad".

I noticed that Lebron joined the parade of media darlings who have complained about the play-in. As far as I’m aware, the list of said players includes only those who are at risk of playing in those games. Odd?

Its a huge homerun... you have like 6 more teams that now have something to play for until the season ends. Eliminates some tanking and some of the meaningless games. It will draw huge rating for the play in games too... especially if Steph and Lebron are involved.

its received universal praise... except for a couple players who happen to be involved.
 
I think the Lakers are completely beatable. My only worry would be the whistle those morons would inevitably get.

It sure is a fun thing but I am not sure I would enjoy that idea if the Jazz were aroind the 6th spot now. I don't think it's the most fair system to be honest. Basically means those 72 games count differently for some teams. It also gives an extra rest advantage for top 2 seeds against their first round opponents. That said if I was LeBron I would shut up about it now.
