The main competition for that spot is Utah

Winning the games you are supposed to win is a challenge for a young team like the lakers

It's sometimes easier to shock a elite team, and come out flat vs lottery teams


.500 ball is within feasibility

The team is experiencing some good consistency now and really knows how to grind in the second half.. the big test coming up is the second game of a back-to-back next week when we play at Minnesota.
If we win that one, I know we are going to be in the playoffs; not a dream anymore, but a reality that is a matter of time.

Still a pipe dream to make the playoffs. That 9 game losing streak really put us in a hole and Jazz are ahead of us and on a 7 game win streak.

It may be a stretch but it can certainly happen. Imagine IT and Lopez get it going on pick n rolls.

We needed Detroit to beat the clippers and the jazz to lose to cap off a nice day. Imagine these baby lakers make the playoffs and face gsw first round. Lavar would be right again would make the perfect story line and then lebron and pg join lakers next year to try to challenge gsw

The Pelicans are imploding, if there's a team dropping out of the playoffs, it's them. We can't catch Portland or Denver.
I don't trust the Clippers.

Clippers have been playing really good ball and have taken pelicans spot. We need to practically beat out the Jazz and Clips. Neither seem to be slowing down
