    Lakers need to do us a solid when they play them next, but the problem is it looks like it'll be the 2nd game of a back-to-back for the Lakers and the Clippers are going to be rested for 3 or 4 days.

    They will have Nix and Boban starting that game. Maybe with them even switching positions.

    I don't think either of them will be playing in the Lakers vs. Clippers game!

    If the Lakers win the next 2 and gs wins their next game that can drop the clips pick to 16. They lose to the Lakers on Wednesday and Minnesota wins the next few games (which they should) that could drop them down to the 15th pick.

    Fingers crossed.

    That's why I figured they should lose 4 out of 5 with their opponents needing it more than them just to stay alive.

    We're so so close to the Clips pick being #16, but they only have three games left. Here's hoping they lose 'em all!

    Some 16th picks from recent drafts:
    Alperen Sengun
    Isaiah Stewart
    Terry Rozier
    Jusuf Nurkic
    Nikola Vucevic

    Lot of busts too, but definitely possible to find a really good player around that range.

    There’s also a nice chance that Clippers play the play-in, what could lead the pick to the lottery.

    It will be difficult to have any of the East teams pass them up but the raptors & hawks are only 1 loss behind. So best possible pick is around 13 if they were to go maybe 1-3

    It's so much to ask that I can only get half-chubbed on the thought of it, but at my age, a halfer is better than none at all.

    Now let us pray: O Lord, I know we have the Astros and that's great and we thank Thee; but canst Thou hook up Rockets fans with a Clippers collapse to end the regular season?

    If Clips are the in play-in the sweat will be intense. The pick could swing from 17 to 13 with the outcome of those couple games.

    The play-in was a brilliant idea. Feels like there’s 20 teams in the league with big implications on multiple games per night the next couple weeks.
