2156500, So The Lakers will lose 4 of the last 8 and miss the Playoffs!

How in the hell did they lose to Phoenix, Washington and Milwaukee?! They losing to Memphis, Clippers, Golden State and SA unless they decide to rest players. If so, they could still lose the final game to the Rockets. Hate to see my nigga Kobe struggle on his way out of the league.

2156507, nah, dem niccas losing fam
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Tue Apr-02-13 10:27 AM
losing those three games last week, they don't even deserve a trip to the playoffs.

2156515, I've made my peace with it. Let's get this season over with.

2156534, Can they win with Kobe's contract next year?
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Tue Apr-02-13 11:09 AM
or should they wait until he retires to decide which direction they need to go?
|
2156647, Conventional wisdom says no.
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Apr-02-13 01:14 PM
Same players more or less. Likely the same coach. Only health would (maybe) be a factor next season. We probably couldn't get more unlucky than we did this year (but who knows).
But I can't believe this team of players couldn't and didn't get it together. It's dumbfounding.
So, no probably not.
|
2156571, Yeah I'm whatever about it at this point, even if we did make it would...
Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Apr-02-13 11:54 AM
probably be a 1st round sweep which would be just as bad as not making the playoffs in my book
|
2156518, they are old,slow, over paid, a played out coach
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Tue Apr-02-13 10:47 AM
and don't have a leader on the team.
and being the 3nd best team in your own building is the real big final nail,
battling for 8th is embarassing with that kind of talent. matter of fact out west anything less being a 4th or 5th seed with that kind of talent isn't acceptable,
the jazz are looking decent.

2156520, True. Lets all go jump on the Heat bandwagon.
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Apr-02-13 10:50 AM
It'll be fun to watch them get their 3nd chip. (2st with Bron)

2156574, Im rockin with Dallas if Lakers dont make it
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Apr-02-13 11:55 AM
Nobody wants to watch Utah play
|
2156651, Dallas is done, they ain't making up that 2 game gap now
Posted by Bombastic, Tue Apr-02-13 01:18 PM
I mean they could, I'd rather they did.
But at this point, Utah just by position is the best hope to complete the wrath & have the 2012/2013 Lakers be on the record as the Biggest Flop Squad In Pro Sports History.

2156653, What a shitshow of a season.
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Apr-02-13 01:20 PM
Still better than AI, let's not go crazy, but geez.

2156664, Theyre playing the best. They have to beat LA tonight though
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Apr-02-13 01:36 PM
Im being real optimistic here but I think this is how they finish and Dallas finishes one game up on Utah and LA.
Utahs won 4-5 in a row but right before that they blew 7-8 straight. Their schedule this past 4-5 games has been pretty soft.
Dallas
Current: 36-37
Projected 43-39

2156676, You got the Lakers beating Memphis?!
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Tue Apr-02-13 01:48 PM
They must be resting players.
|
2156682, I wanted to be generous there
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Apr-02-13 02:02 PM
Their next 3 games are tough but I think they go 1-3.
If they win tonight then Id guess they lose to Memph.
Memph is stylistically a decent matchup for them. Its a slow, methodical team. They wont get crushed by quick guards and their 2 isnt as much of a threat to Kobe's free safety defense.

2156666, Not sure about the Utah/Dallas tiebreak in case that happens
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Apr-02-13 01:38 PM
I could se eit ending even.
utah has the tiebreak on LA. Not sure about the LA/Dallas tiebreak either.
Would love it if the Lakers/ Hou game mattered last day of the season and we dropped the shovel on em.

2156669, fuck the lakers and the mavs

2156550, Phx and Milwaukee were 2nd night of b2b's on the road so expected L's
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Apr-02-13 11:24 AM
Washington loss was the back breaker
|
2156589, tonight is like the 20th must win game of the Lakers season lol
Posted by southphillyman, Tue Apr-02-13 12:09 PM
if they lose tonight i would seriously doubt them making it (utah has mostly home games left)
|
2156637, I only see one clearly winnable game. Unless we win 3 out of the next
Posted by El_essence, Tue Apr-02-13 01:06 PM
4, which is highly unlikely, it's a wrap.
|
2156673, Would love to not give Phoenix a lotto pick
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Apr-02-13 01:46 PM
But I'd also love to not get waxed in the playoffs.
Resign Dwight and get this shit on the right track somehow.
|
2156687, they're coming for the Warriors' sixth place slot!!!
Posted by Amritsar, Tue Apr-02-13 02:08 PM
Remember when you kiddos were saying that?
lol adorable
