Smells like OKC will catch SAS w/out Parker. GSW is our next target.

We need to win our meetings with GSW and Houston.

We can do both with relative ease, if we don't turn the ball over.

Houston is tough at home and we need to limit Harden. Between Kobe and MWP, I think we can do it. I would say whichever isn't guarding Harden should be guarding Parsons.

We have three easy upcoming games, we must win these next three games (vs SAC, at PHO and vs WAS) before playing the Warriors in Oakland. 



Arguably the greatest franchise ever

I want Houston to lose to GS but lose to Utah. That way everything stays neutral in that set and keep up able to get 6th but get us away from losing 8th.


Mike D'Antoni is GARBAGE.

Lakers home record over the last 12 games

(11-1 with 6 straight)

That's not bad. Let's keep that up!

If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.


You should reach more often ;)

If the Lakers win today they are
36-32

If Houston loses today they are
36-31

That means we'd only be A GAME behind the 7th spot!

Hoping for a Houston loss!! And a Lakers win!

Well houston just got there ass kicked. Not sure who I wanted to win there. Passing HOU will still be hard and we gotta hope they lose some easy ones but holding the lead on them will be allot easier being that the rest of our schedule is very soft.

Utah vs Hous on Wed

 

Who do you want to win haha!

 

If we beat the kings right now, we are half a game back of 7th.

I would still want Houston to lose. Utah's schedule is brutal the rest of this season.

Well honestly id like Utah to lose to new york, us to beat phoenix and then houston to lose to Utah.

That'd be perfect.

I want to beat Phoenix SO bad tomorrow (or today technically, it's past midnight, whatever). If they can beat Phoenix that gives Kobe a great opportunity to rest, because I'm confident the Lakers will beat the Wizards at home on Friday. Then we'll need him for Golden State on the 25th, by then that will have bought him almost two full weeks of rest and recovery time, and hopefully Pau will be back for that little four game road trip.

Consider it this way.

If Utah loses to New York and then defeats Houston and we beat Phoenix. We're tied for the seventh seed and have a game lead over Utah still.

Id like to have the seventh seed and a game and a half cushion on Utah

If the Spurs are going to preserve the 1st seed, we should take the 8th seed and avoid OKC by all means.

I'm rooting against Utah over anybody else. Worry about getting a playoff spot first, then worry about positioning. The Lakers are still tied in the L column with Utah.

The heat are winning it all this year, and it makes me sick
