    I know it's very unlikely but here's what I've been saying all season...

    I want the Lakers to make the playoffs and knock out the Clippers in the 1st round. Just so no matter what happens, LAC know LAL run LA.

    LA traded their pick away to Phoenix. But, I would like to buy what you are selling!

    I'd love to see them play the Spurs, and get swept by San Antonio. It will be ok. These Spurs will be run off them court in the next round.

    Make no mistake: I hate the Lakers more than any other team no matter who's on the other teams.

    Stern does not want the Lakers and the Clippers to face each other in the playoffs. He wants LA to support both teams, and not to divide the fans.

    I want them to lose to OKC. They could beat the Spurs. If they face the Thunder then the Rockets don't.

    do you fear?

    you fear what the lakers will achieve..

    you fear if the lakers makes the playoffs, this means rockets out in your opinion.

    it's so funny people don't express their basketball opinion, instead, all are trolling.

    maybe most people don't even know about basketball.

    they just stare at the team record, and they have no idea how the other team is playing, will they be able to do something or not.

    when you get in the playoffs, anything is possible!

    I'm sure they'll lose to anyone they play in the first round, so it doesn't really matter.

    Would enjoy watching the thunder run them off the court again but to me the story of last season was Harden just getting mangled whenever he was matched up against Kobe. I support Harden but when a 33 year old is exhausting someone 10 years younger... there's an issue lol. I just love how fanatically Kobe is about basketball as well.

    1) Not make playoffs
    2) Spurs (most mature and least likely to get ruffled should the Lakers make a strong showing)
    3) Thunder
    4) Clippers (The Lakers just might play the best against this team given the embarrassment of losing to them and thus clearly earning the designation of LA's 2nd best team)

    Losing to the Clippers would sting most.
