Lakers will have a shot at the 7th seed to face SA!

[RagaZ]

Better shot than against OKC.

It will be a 5 game series max, either way.

Utah ain't winning in Memphis. Lakers can afford to lose

What's the season series between Houston and Lakers?

[brantonli]

i think houston will take game serious

but from what i see they have no paint scoring, or interior defence.
lakers can really exploit that and win easily vs houston

Lol, the Rockets are third in the NBA in point in the paint. Although to be fair, that doesn't seem to be a very big indication of success at all (Detroit, Sacramento and Orlando are all top 10).

Against the Spurs, they will lose in 5.
Against the Thunder, they will lose in 4.

Congrats for making the playoffs, I guess...

I think you definitely want the Spurs if you're the Lakers. San Antonio is hobbling into the playoffs. Maybe they get it right and start playing like we saw them play earlier in the season, but maybe not.

[AlphaWolf24]

Don't think LA can get past OKC,.....

but if LA plays the Spurs...

LA in 6....book it.



( I maybe LA Bias, but....what eva)

If the Lakers win, they'll be 7th seed. That's all you need to worry your pretty little head about.

Damn,I was just going to post that.

You guys realize Lakers have been a .700 team since February even with all the injuries? Granted, we had Kobe. Without Kobe, it would be hard, but Nash will be back, so it's not impossible. We can beat Miami in the Finals as well.

[cotdt]

I didn't say that the Lakers will beat Miami, I said that it's definitely possible given the matchup. Lakers will have more rebounds and more free throws.

[Goldrush25]

With/without Kobe, the Spurs would have demolished the Lakers either way. Won't make a difference.

What? I think the Lakers have an excellent chance to upset the Spurs. OKC, not so much.

[bukowski81]

People are overreacting because the Lakers beat the Spurs a couple days ago. That game was really important to the Lakers, as important as a playoff game, that game didnt mean anything to the Spurs, everybody knows that the Spurs main concern these past weeks is to be healthy, not win games. That will change in the playoffs.

Realistically Lakers have almost no chance against either the Spurs or the Thunder, why? becasue they play much better basketball and are a much better team.

Lakers fans saying that they have a very good chance of defeating the Spurs are just thinking with their hearts.
