What do we think about LeChoke's chances to make the playoffs
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

It's gonna require a really strong post all star break performance from the entire team to make the playoffs and for a few of the low seeds to underperform if they want to avoid the play in games.

I would absolutely love to see the Lakers miss the playoffs, but I expect they'll get the play-in (who knows from there). Seems the Jazz at least will be actively mailing it in.

It would be pretty fun (at least for me) if LA made the playoffs. I can't see them going too far, but it would be nice to see them get back to not-sucking with a little health and all that.

Don’t want to speculate / predict anything, on my end (the media & more National coverage of the Lakers is exhausting / frustrating - with or without the fuel to the fire Westbrook provided).

One game at a time, time to finish the year strong while looking forward to future promise. Let’s go Lakers!!

Hopefully they make the playoffs so the Westbrook trade disaster would only have eaten one year of his career.

Tonight will be a good first test post-ASG (outside of the fact that it’s the first game post-ASG lol). No Curry I don’t think but the Warriors I think are just as motivated to right the ship.

The defensive improvement is night and day now that Ham doesn't get to play those godawful 3 guard lineups with WB and Beverly gone.

13 point lead and LeBron only has 5 points. It cannot be said enough how nice it is to be free of Westbrook. Dude was a cancer to winning basketball.

He could be under the weather. Commentators were saying he didn't look or sound right in warmups either.

Seemed minor, could play next game from the look of it, but maybe rest a game or even 2

Just crazy how bad injuries have been for us the last few years
