[Calm Down] Sitting at 0.632 and #2 Seed in the Western Conference!

"Fair amount of acting by Sengun clearly".

Golden globe worthy they even had the special effects people throw in some blood capsules on the towel and around his gumline

 

No. This shows how impressive and controlled Sengun is with his biological systems where he can command bleeding in the gums at will.

 

Good news folks:

It seems the Lakers will be sitting half of their team Tuesday at OKC in preparation for Luka's grand return to Dallas. Any Lakers loss will clinch the second seed for the Rockets.

I guess they figure winning two of @Dallas, Rockets at home, @Porlland is a given.

 

Lakers are playing with fire, but I also don't blame them since even at full strength, OKC could still easily beat them in a revenge game.

However, Lakers can quite easily drop out of 3rd seed if they go 1-3, and teams below them win out (there is definitely at least 1 team out of 5 between 4th-8th seed that will win out). Assuming they drop their game against OKC tomorrow, Lakers must go 2-1 in their remaining 3 games to secure 3rd seed. Those 3 games are:

1. Road game against Mavericks (Mavs have a home record of 21-17).
2. Road game against Blazers (Blazers have a home record of 21-18).
3. Home game against Houston.

However, also Lakers have a road record of just 18-20 this season. Lakers and Clippers are the only two teams in the top 8 seed with losing road records. Lakers can very easily drop out of 3rd seed.

 

That’s what you get when you have these women do highlights who don’t watch the games, or basketball in general. That whole highlight was cringe.

 

In theory we really have no reason to play if we are gifted wrapped the 2nd seed, the Lakers are gambling on that also. I doubt ime is gonna rest our starters though.

It would b quite interesting if the lakers lose both mavs and okc game.

 

Other than OKC, everyone has a chance for seed#3

 

Still hoping for a Lakers/Warriors matchup at 4/5. But even 3/6 would be okay just so one of them is eliminate in the first round.

 

If the NBA wants to get some ratings for the 1st round, they will make sure Lakers/Warriors play in the 1st round. Otherwise, the odds are not in favor of that match up happening later in the playoffs.

 

2004 Pistons Feel - except better

Rocket River

 

Michael Malone at least got up from his seat.

 

Thunder have been shakey. Going to need to bounce back (and secure us the 2 seed).

 

I have a hard time believing that OKC is going to lose this game.

 

AD could get a chance to play spoiler.

 

I hope it goes to quadruple overtime and the Lakers lose on a buzzer beater after they turn the ball over with 10 seconds left.

 

The Wild West! 2 out of 4 teams are currently winning (Memphis and Minnesota), and the Warriors and Clippers are both favorites to win their games tonight, which could lead to a five team tie, along with Denver, by the end of the evening.

 

OKC up 14 w/ 2min left. Looks like the 2-seed will be clinched tonight
