Lakers Playoff Watch

[Graviton]

Houston coming back down to Earth, everyone already figured out Lin and Harden.

Really, you couldn't really except the Rockets to do more than MAYBE sneak into the playoffs as an 8-seed, and even that's starting to look less and less likely. I absolutely think, going forward, Houston can not only make the playoffs with Harden as their best player, but maybe even finish top 5 in the West. However, they can't do much better than what they're doing this year with Harden as their best player and Chandler Parsons, Omer Asik, and Jeremy Lin as their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best players.

Portland's bench is just god awful and they're a smallish team in desperate need of a legit center...not J.J. Hickson.

Nice night for LA. Must win tomorrow to make up ground on Portland and Houston

Superteam struggling to make the playoffs

Horrific loss by LA. With Bulls and Grizz coming up, I think Lakers are done without a trade

[tmacattack33]

LA will still easily make the playoffs.

They are 17-22 after this loss to Toronto.

So basically just flip that around and what you end up with is what they will have to do in order to make the playoffs...22-17 or so is the pace they will have to go on from here on out to make the playoffs....and that should be pretty easy to do with Kobe, Dwight, Gasol, and Nash as well as Earl Clark having a breakout year and Metta World Peace shooting like it's 2007 again.

This and I doubt .500 will be enough to make the playoffs in the west.

[Grinder]

The Mavs have now caught up with the Lakers and are playing their best b-ball of the season and have everyone healthy. The Kings are only 1.5 games back and the Hornets (EG back) and last place Suns only 4 and 4.5 games back respectively. It's an understatement to say the Lakers have their work cut out for them especially with some of the teams below them starting to play better.

[Pacers4ever]

NFL needs to hurry the **** up and take the opportunity to make L.A to a football town immediately with these piece of shit lakers.

Season over

17-24..


..and counting

[LikeABosh]

Minus well make a Wizards playoff watch too

[rhythmic]

They need to go 30-11 just to win 47 games this season, and that probably won't even guarantee a playoff spot in the west.

Season's pretty much over unless some miracle occurs.
