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

Lakers are in a tough spot - AD is broken right now, Lebron is banged up, their depth is tested, not a great time.

Blazers have a pretty tough ending stretch to the season so they aren't on solid footing. Lakers are a tad better, but at least get Suns/Knicks at home. Mavericks are going to roll the rest of the season with their schedule.

I don't particularly care for the play-in as the NBA needs to sack up and just make it 1-16 combining both conferences, but it's what we have right now.

Lakers will, most likely, end up as 7th seed but they won't risk another play-in game to match with the Jazz(if we remain 1st) and if they lose and make the playoffs as 8th seed, that means they are vulnerable.

It just sucks that in the West you win the #1 or #2 seed and get either Lebron or Steph (maybe). I guess the East isn't much better as you might get Miami or a Wiz team that is suddenly kinda interesting... just a wild year. The talent in this league is just bonkers.

Lebron James never had a father. So let him take a few days off to take it easy on his ankle instead of traveling with the team.

I mean, OK, but he missed the last two games when the team was playing at Staples too. What's more, his coach kinda called him out on it too. Something IS kind of strange.

Yeah I'm more along the lines of take our destiny into our own hands. Don't rely on hoping someone else doesn't crap out. If we crap out that's on us and would take us down anyway. Not good to hope 2 other teams don't crap out and let LBJ and his cronies get their groove back before meeting up with us in the WCF, where the officiating will guarantee who moves into the finals.

Eh, I want the highest percentage chance at a championship possible. So give me the worst opponent possible each round.

For round 1 I'm hoping to play San Antonio.

Sure I'd love to play 8 then 7 then 6. Just ain't happening unless the Lakers are one of them. And if they are, they will likely be at their worst in the first round.

That's true in Lakers' case but GSW is just mediocre. GSW making the playoffs with that roster just speaks to how good Curry actually is but they will be lucky to snatch a game against the top seeds. I think Miami is in the same boat.

Lakers is weird because Lebron is weird. Any other player and you wouldn't even bother talking about them. I think we are giving them too much credit. AD hasn't felt right all year and Lebron is getting old and the injury seems to be bothering him more than they say. Buuut it's Lebron so you never know.
