    Default Lakers all but in the playoffs now

    All they need is to beat Houston on Wednesday, or have Utah lose in Minnesota tomorrow OR in Memphis on Wednesday. Utah controlled their own destiny, but not anymore.

    but OKC in first round is not good news. Chances or how do they get to play the spurs?

    Hope for the 7 seed. I think it's very realistic that GS falls to the 8. That not only keeps them away from OKC in the first round, but puts them on the other side of the West bracket (they'd play the winner of Denver-Houston in the second round).

    OKC clinches #1 seed with win or Spurs loss. Golden State's next win means Lakers can't get to 7th. Lakers need a miracle themselves not to play OKC.

    If GS loses their last two vs the Spurs & at Portland.

    And if Houston looses tomorrow in PHX we control our destiny when we play them on Wednesday...

    Jazz should have lost to MIN the first time, Al Jeff won't have a lucky game again they should lose that one.

    GS needs to lose out - against SAS tomorrow and Portland on Wednesday. Not too sure on those chances but if that happened it might be a saving grace for LAL.

    Or Houston losing @ Phoenix tomorrow. Second leg of a road back-to-back but the Suns suck.

    Yep. Lakers have tiebreaker on GS, but GS's next win means the Lakers are 8th(assuming they don't lose to Houston and Utah winning their last 2).

    OKC only have the Kings and Bucks games left, so they should stay the 1 seed. Lakers have nothing to lose, so I could see them rallying to take a game or two, but that's about it. I think with Kobe they could have possibly upset the Spurs, especially with Tony Parker still not 100%.

    GS isn't losing to SA tomorrow. Bank on that, they're gonna make a statement.
