Western Playoff Contenders Can Force Lakers vs Suns in Round 1 Playoffs

[BallsOut]

All Clippers, Warriors and Pelicans have to do is match the Lakers record or worse the rest of the way and it guarantees Lakers the 5th seed. Lakers hold tiebreakers over all those teams.

Seems like we may finally get what everyone wants to see. Suns vs Lakers. An even playing field for once. 3 all stars against 3 all stars. Let’s make it happen boys.

Lakers do not hold the tiebreaker versus the Clippers. OP is brain damaged.

More like 2 stars on each side and like RR3 said the Clips have the tiebreaker as they've won all the H2H games.

Who are the Lakers 3 all stars?

Also, lakers will almost certainly finish 6th or 7th, baring some kind of perfect storm of results.
