I think we have a great chance now. see, if we win all 3 of our last games which is possible, and the clippers lose against seattle twice and memphis, we get the 6th spot! and a round against the beatable nuggets.

Clippers now have the 6th spot, and they face Seattle twice and Memphis once. I bet they will lose all three of those games.

On top of that, the Lakers have to beat Portland, New Orleans, Phoenix (who they haven't beaten in a couple seasons).
Sonics are the most dangerous team in the NBA under 500, dont underestimate them. And Clips are losing to the Blazers right now. And, LAL can beat Phoenix when we need to. dont put it out of the question.
Clippers beat Portland... now that they've won this game I dont see it happening either... forget it.
Doesn't really mater to me I'm just glad were in the playoffs. I'm very confident we can beat Phenox in 6 or 7 if we work hard at it. All the Lakers have to do is put all the negative stuff behind them and play those games as if it's the beginning of a new season.

Yeah, the main thing is not to focus on the 2 seasons straight Lakers have lost to Phoenix.JUST WIN WIN WIN!
I can't wait to see what Kobe pulls out of his hat come playoff time. Seeing how Kwame and Lamar fare should be interesting as well.
