West Playoff Watch

I agree, It's just unfortunate that all 3 opponents might play for nothing, 2 teams resting for play-in. If Lakers had few wins more, it would have been totally different situation.

We're gonna trade him in a package to Dallas for Luka. You heard it here first. :naaa:

If Wolves beat Wizards, Griz beat Jazz, Nuggets beat Spurs and LAL beat PHX, west will be a bloodbath 5-7 and 9-11.

I have a feeling that Suns will make sure to put Lakers away, especially after AD's comments.

Its leaking out that Vogel is done after the year (which we already thought), but now that its out will the Lakers just fold up?

If LeBron folds like that it'll be a stain on his career

I think his legacy is pretty much set. The only problem could be his constant interfering with GM's job and trying to put together a team of his liking. But yeah this season has been a gigantic failure for him, specially if they miss the playoffs.

I believe only LeBron's goal is scoring title. He needs to play 2 games more. He will choose Thunder for sure, the last 1 is more tricky, Suns for sure not, it's between Warriors and Nuggets. I don't believe he will wait for last game and choose Nuggets, too risky, something might happen. It looks like Warriors to me.

On the other hand, if he chooses Denver, he will be last to play and will knew exactly how many points he needs + Denver might play for nothing.

Kinda pathetic situation, but he's doing exactly that in last week.

Lebron's legacy is pretty set by now but it does have a lot of stains. Including that huge sheeet stain he left in 2011 with that all star team of his. :lol:

Utah wins and Denver loses. The Mavs is set to play against the Jazz in the first round.

Spurs win against Denver was very important. Now, no matter what happens in next Spurs and Pelicans game, Spurs vs Warriors still matters.

I don't know if Utah is a good match up for us... We need to put Gobert out of the series in some way.

When the clippers faced them last year, Tyrone Lue went small. Played Terrance Mann or that Morris idiot at center. This neutralized Gobert towards the end of the series as Utah failed to adjust to this new style of small ball as they dont really have a small ball C outside of Gobert. Even more so this year without Ingles.
