I'm hoping Utah realize they got nothing to do with making the playoffs and trade Al Jeff & Millsap for draft picks.

We have 27 games left and Houston is up 3.5 in the standings. Can't say I'm the most confident of our chances right now. Every time they lose, we lose. Every time we win, they win...

I like the way the Laker won the game tonite

Can someone post up the Lakers next 20 or how many games left. So we can predict which games they will win/lose. I want to see the Lakers in the Play Offs, cause I know this will make Kobe and D12 go ham. I really want to see Kobe vs LeBron.

Golden state is also in turmoil at the moment. So even if houston does get hot golden state may continue to crumble. Just gotta keep winning and get over that .500 mark. Good thing is lakers are 9th seed finally passing portland. 1 more seed up to go.

9th seed in the West now but still 3.5 games outside the 8th seed. 27 more games. Too bad HOU also won today. Trade deadline coming in a few hours. Should be interesting.



Standings updated.

if lakers want to make the playoffs, houston are suposed to lose games like the one the won last night. if the win those, there is no option for the lakers. they woke up too late.

When are the teams official as in what time can players not be traded? I am assuming as of midnight, or am I wrong?

I think it's after 3PM EST. I could be wrong though.

The trade deadline passed and there is no trade associated with Lakers and for Rockets there is only a little change.

The most feasible plan for Lakers to make playoff is to beat Rockets and the next 10 games for each are essential.

For Rockets: the next 10 consists of 4 homes and 6 aways. The danger is on the away game against Nets and away game against Warriors. Other games are against Suns, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Wizards and Magic, which are relatively easy as those teams are falling this season. Personal predict: 7W3L or 5W5L.

For Lakers: the next 10 are tough. The toughest are away game against Thunders and Nuggets. Then for the home games against Hawks and Bulls and away game against Mavericks are also not 100% sure to win. Best prediction will be 8W2L or 5W5L.

If both teams get 5W5L, Lakers are still 1 behind Rockets. But after the 10 there are a bunch of home games for Rockets but a bunch of away game for Lakers. And the possible outcome is that Rockets win the most and Lakers win a few.

Or, HOU loses some games that are supposed to win, like the game against Magic and Wizards while LAL wins some of the games supposed to be lose, like the game against OKC.

So, based on the average performance of Lakers, Rockets and other Western teams, I dont think Lakers are able to make playoff.

[Kobe System]

The next 4 games will be vs.Portland, @Dallas, @Denver and vs.T'wolves. We don't have a choice but to go 3-1 or 4-0.

[Kobe System]

Just saw Houston's schedule. It's VERY easy. If we wanna go to the playoffs, we need to win tough tough games.
