    I’m scared of OKC, they are now peaking.

    Clippers have tiebreaker vs OKC. Who has tiebreakers for OKC/Spurs/Clippers three way tie?

    So do we really want to play OKC or utah?!? But then again a 3rd seed allows you to avoid warriors in 2nd round if you get out of first

    Luke Walton is not what is wrong with the Lakers. He's a good coach, I can see him going back to being an assistant for a few years and then getting a HC gig again.

    Eric, the Clippers cannot finish higher than 7th. We can't play them.

    No, it's not. It allows dribble penetration. Sagging big picks up ballhandler too high, theres a wrap around a bounce pass. Too late, they have a layup. In between, they lob it up for the big. Somehow take that all away and they have a mid-range pullup. It's a good scheme in certain situations, but not against lob catching bigs.

    So happy for Moe.

    Feel like he's really found himself these last 35 games or so. He still fucks up some times and wish he could find his shooting touch, but this is the best stretch of his career in terms of impacting winning.

    This should probably go into @Jade Falcon ”the other side” thread but all the action is in here right now. Laker tears are delish. So glad this is how they are sent off the same night Magic steps down LMAO it’s great

    Yes but if Spurs/OKC lose and Clippers win, Clippers are 6th. Clips have tiebreaker over OKC.
