    Default Lakers will be the "Low-seeded team no one wants to play"

    They appear to be putting it together at the right time. I don't believe any of the top seeds would be too pleased about playing them in the first round.

    OKC would most definitely beat the Lakers. Spurs would probably lose though.

    Yep. Hoping the Thunder get that 2 seed. I have a feeling they gonna get that 1 seed though.

    That would be a bullshit first round.

    Of course, at the end of the day, they still have Kobe, Dwight, Nash and Pau will be back.

    I blame this on Utah, all they had to do was win their games.

    As much as I hate to say it, the Lakers could potentially give the Spurs or Clippers a run for their money. Though they've got absolutely no shot against the Thunder.

    OKC would kill LA. La would have a better shot beating Miami.

    Any team at the top of the west realizes that if the Lakers were a top seed they would probably have to beat them to get to the finals anyways, so they might as well knock them off in the first round and get it over with. In reality, the Lakers are in trouble going into the first round as they are going to have to face a top team to get to the 2nd round, then they will have to play another team ranked ahead of them that also has momentum from winning in the first round... then, they would probably have to play the 1st or 2nd seed.

    When you think about the Stern angle, the Lakers season could be a setup to have an 8 seed win a chip (and I would cry, lol).

    I asked this in another thread, but what if the Lakers are red hot going into the Play-offs? Might as well get it done (playing the okc) in the first round if that's the case.

    Spurs should be worried but still it would be close. Clippers I can't see the Lakers beating them and OKC has nothing to worry about.

    I'd still take the Spurs, but that does feel like it goes 6 or 7.

    The Lakers, if they win this game, will only be two games out of the 6 seed. Not a guarantee that the Thunder would play them if they get the 1 seed.
