    Whats the Lakers draft pick situation? Do they convey it Phoenix if they make playoffs - or if they don't? I'd like to see 'em miss out on their pick next year...

    I hate Utah... With a passion. But it'll be a cold day in hell before I root for the Lakers to be in the playoffs. I couldn't stand ass hats like magic Johnson clam boring upset if the fakers somehow got in.

    I'm hoping we beat them in a do or die game. And after the last second goes off and laker fans collectively around the world are filled with anguish. I want Kevin McHale to pimp walk on over to mid court and show the Lakers a gesture of his sympathy.

    I would like to see Nash have 1 more good playoff run instead of the boring "jazz"

    pretty low the celtic blood in mchale will dictate that he will try to keep the lakers out of the playoffs

    also its kind of annoying to hear people say that okc and SA are trying to get the 2nd seed so they can play the rockets and avoid the lakers in the first round -- complete disrespect to Houston -- i mean if it was after the first 25 or so go games - i understand that

    but the season is almost over - at this point you are what your records says - and the rockets are the better TEAM (though may not have the better individual talent) than the lakers.

    Rather see the lakers make the playoffs. WHO in the world wants to watch UTAH play?

    Both are first rounders; except, Rockets have a higher chance of making it out. The lakers though.... hell no.. unless.. Kobe... nvm.. still hell no

    When you have Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash & Kobe Bryant - being the 8th is about just as bad as not making it.

    I'd rather see them lose in the 1st round.

    If it does come to that, there would probably be the worst officiating ever. You touch a lakers player and it's a foul, you look at them it's a foul.

    I hope by then, our playoff seed at 6 or 7 is locked. Rather just rest our starters and keep them fresh for the playoffs.

    If we do this, then Dwight seriously thinks about coming to Houston.

    I want him to look pissed and angry like he was after coming out of the game against the Clippers Sunday. It will be sweet if the Fakers win 0 games the rest of the season.

    If our playoff spot is secure and the Lakers are win or go home, that would be an fun game to watch on national TV. We could play totally care free run and gun.

    No, I'd rather see them miss the playoffs.

    "The most expensive team in the NBA that fails to make the playoffs."
    Sounds good to me.

    I heard that after the Laker's win over SA tonight, it's pretty much up to the Jazz.

    If they lose either of their next two games, LA gets 8th no matter what happens against us on Wednesday.

    Can someone validate this?

    I've read different things but from what I understand:
    They miss the playoffs - goes to Phoenix
    They make the playoffs - goes to Cleveland
