I think 4 wins is more than enough for 7/8th. Assuming we beat Utah twice. |
yup |

We are in great position now for that 7 seed.
6 seed might be a stretch now with GSW turning it up. |
GSW plays Minny, NOP, OKC at home, they will beat all 3 and that will help us. |
Then we need PHX to keep losing.

The Bulls are in 10th but only 1 GB of Atlanta for 8th, and a half-game back of Toronto for 9th, and are 2.5 up on Indiana and Washington for that final play-in spot. So we know they are going to play all-out, and of course DeRozan will play in both games. As I said, we have to at least split those 2 games. Of course you'd love to go 2-0, but going 1-1 won't kill us. Going 0-2 would be extremely problematic, and could mean we drop back down to 12th. It's just so jam-packed! |
no way they going 0-2 against bulls. 1-1 at least. |

No reason to jinx us! I take nothing for granted. Absolutely nothing. Especially if D'lo remains out. Last time he was injured, we were told it was day-to-day and he missed, what, 6 games? So you never know.
I'm glad KD is coming back for that Minnesota game, apparently. I'd rather have a Minnesota loss there. |

I mean, perhaps, but you can also hope for PHX to go 0-3 across their next 3 games and for the Lakers go 3-0. Because then the Lakers record is 40-37 and Phoenix's record is 38-38 and their game vs Minnesota becomes a game about who gets put further into the play-in under us.
And if Phoenix is knocked out of the top 6 the Lakers have a chance at being the 6th seed behind Golden State.

Don't want the 4th/5th seed to play Phoenix. Dirty ass flopper CP3 would probably injure someone.
6th/7th would be alright |

Doesn’t matter who we play though. We have to win. I don’t think a fully healthy laker squad is worried about any team.

Good. Hope that means the Pels get to keep their draft pick 😂

Pretty much. A fully healthy Lebron, AD, DLO, Reaves, etc can beat anybody.

Chicago is 9-5 since the break, with wins against the Sixers, Nuggets, Heat and the T-Pups who we struggled with.
They are also third in scoring differential (helped buy an absolute blowout of the Dame-less Blazers)
Im hoping for a split.

| Pelicans over Clippers if we're feeling risky. Clippers have a pretty tough schedule (Grizzlies 2x, Suns, Lakers, Pelicans 2x, and Bulls) and no PG for the rest of the regular season. |

Man this is the craziest ending to a regular season I can remember. It’s been must win games for half the western conference for over a month now.
I usually don’t watch regular season games outside of Lakers games but so much on the line with all these teams jammed packed in the standings.
If we make it to the playoffs…all these must-win game experiences will prove to be vital for our young guys going forward.
We’ve basically been in do or die mode the whole season lol, hopefully this will have prepared our roster for the pressure of the playoffs. Not to mention, since our situation became dire, we’ve been getting every teams best shot. Ever single game, teams came in with the intention to remove us from the playoff picture, the intensity and hustle the opposition brought against us was playoff level effort. If we weather this storm, I like our chances…Just gotta get healthy!!!!

The play-in has created something we have never seen before. I’m sure the NBA is happy to have this insane race and they probably hope that it stays this way in future seasons. It’s like a pseudo relegation…except for the bottom 2 or 3 tanking teams in each conference, everyone has a chance to play past the 82 game regular season. |

It has certainly made the regular season more watchable |

True, but I believe the clips have the tie breaker over us, which makes it really tough to jump past them. But it would be amazing if we could. Preferred Pels loss today, but it isn’t too bad for us either if they beat the Clips. |

They currently do, but only 1-0 against us. The 2nd and final game is on April 5th. If we win that game, tiebreaker changes.

What? Clippers beat us 3 games already. It doesn't matter if we win the 4th, they already own the tiebreaker.
