Lakers are now only a 1/2 game behind the Kings



To continue our path to the 6th seed, tomorrow we need:

– Celtics beat Kings

– Spurs upset Pelicans

– Timberwolves beat Suns

That will put us into a tie with Sacramento and only .5 games behind Phoenix & New Orleans

We take care of business on Saturday against the Cavs with those 3 things happening and our chances to get past the play-in are looking much better

    These two guys, I believe, will take care of business

    Just gotta keep taking care of business. The 7 seed is right there.

    Only time I will ever root for those leprechauns if it means moving up the standings and avoiding the playin games.

    Pelicans/Suns play each other again too so that’s a guaranteed game to move up on one of those teams. Just gotta keep winning

    It’s very possible to that we could slide into the 6th seed and although it’s highly unlikely we could finish as high as 5th if all the cards fall the right way!

    If only the NBA was smart and counted the in-season tournament championship as a win

    Those 3 teams will still play against each other. Best case scenario is the they split their games against each other and hope that other teams will pull the Kings further. Lakers need to go 5-0 tho to remain in the hunt for the 6th seed.

    They are facing the celtics tomorrow. We have a chance to overtake them. We need to take care of business

    I’m worried the Celtics are just going to tank the game. They don’t need any more wins.

    The saturday/sunday b2b isn’t a traditional b2b for us as well since cavs game has a morning/afternoon start and minny game has a late night start. Gives at least an extra 4-5 hours of recovery over a typical b2b game. Plus wed be home so no traveling time. LeBron can hop into his 24 hour hyperbaric chamber to speed up recovery.

    Never ever trust leprechauns for saving our future. They will do the unbelievable to lose tomorrow.

    Same with Minnie. Nobody wanna even come close to us coming PO time. They know and they all doing their best to secure us the least playin seed possible.

    But be calm, karma will fuck u later poor strategical teams

    For the record, they still own the tie breaker over us, so even if we go 5-0 we still need them to go 4-2 or worse

    League to the Lakers: abandon hope you have no chance.

    Lakers: unless I win !

  18. witcher317

    Celtikkks will bench their starters for that easy Kings win

    Remember that the Celtics are the biggest Laker hater. They’re number one in the east by a huge margin. They might just rest half of the team against the Kings tomorrow.

    I’ll appreciate it if they proved me wrong tho lol

    Oh man if the Lakers remain perfect, there’s a real shot we’re out and away from this play-in mess entirely.

  22. D-majin

    We’re not getting 6th man all we need is 7/8

  23. saxa26

    Celtics have no incentive to beat the Kings tomorrow night. A loss won’t hurt them and a win only helps the Lakers. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re well aware of that
