Yeah I can tell they’re trying HARD to push us out of 4-5. They 100% gave away the thunder game to push us back to 6. Lebron isn’t dumb
If Lakers want to HYPOTHETICALLY make finals. They would play 4 7 game series in my opinion. Blazers-7 games Rockets 7 games Clippers 7 games Bucks would be 6-7 games
i feel LA lose on purpose against okc, back to back is too much for them, n they know Thursday's day gotta to be a must-win game.
The loss to portland was big. The jazz have an easy schedule so it is likely they end up in 4/5. Then between us and OKC they own the head to head tie breaker. That would suck to get nuggets or clippers round 1 and thunder get an easy pass into round 2. I wonder what the standings would be if there is a 3 way tie?
Lakers shot 14% from 3 vs. OKC. This was not a 1 game anomaly. In the bubble (4 games) they are shooting a woeful 25% from distance. And they are poor at defending the 3. Not saying it will be a cakewalk without Russ pushing pace, but Rockets will win.
Lakers playing possum or lining up their excuses? You never know with Lebron. Sounds like Lakers are discombobulated.
