totallyNow Lakers difficult to defend last year asterisk championship
More glory!That could actually be really bad if the Lakers fall to 4th. We could be back to facing them in the 2nd round and having to play both LA teams.
More glory!
Dang. I take it back. Less glory please!So what is the worst/most glorious set of matchups?
1st round Denver, 2nd round healthy Lakers, 3rd round healthy Clips, finals health Nets w/all their pieces working together smoothly?
That would probably be the most difficult championship of any era of caliber of opponents beaten.
Just get the first seed and let the cards fall where they will. Nothing we can do about that. Do what's in our control. We tried to get cute with matching against Denver but ended up losing.That could actually be really bad if the Lakers fall to 4th. We could be back to facing them in the 2nd round and having to play both LA teams.
AD out for at least another month and LeBron probably chasing MVP, so yeah.Lakers are going to get the 2 or 3 seed. ANd even if they fall to 4th, they are going to face a good to great team and will not be able to coast.
I'm not convinced the Lakers and the Clippers will be 100% healthy come playoff time. Last year was tailor made for them with the pause before playoff then the protest break during the middle of the first round (which really screwed us, btw.)
