    Man the Lakers are the best team in the league. Blowing out Utah now in Salt Lake after winning at Denver last night.

    Anybody see the travel by LeBron that wasn't called last night? I don't know how the refs can sleep at night when they don't call that shit.

    They are up there for sure. Them, Clippers and Bucks are favorites to win it, followed by Raptors, Sixers, Nuggets and Celtics being a move or further development of their young guys away from contending. Cannot look past an LA team against Bucks for the Finals though, barring injuries.

    Since the Lakers are our opponent next game, are we allowed to talk about them now?

    I think most people had the Lakers as the best team in the regular season, because the Clippers didn't have PG to start the year and plan to rest Kawhi like 2 games out of 3 until the playoffs. They have gelled pretty quickly, though - normally it takes LeBron a bit longer to get used to his celebrity sidekick du jour.

    I'm not so sure about that. I swore there were people on here in the predictions thread that thought WE would finish higher than the Lakers.

    it didn't gain the Lakers any advantage so there's that

    on the other hand, not only was it beyond blatant, it made it look like Lebron was having a senior moment. If it makes it to Shaqtin a fool, would it be because of Lebron or the three blind mice?

    The only person allowed to praise the Lakers is me. Not you. And I hate them. So, it won't happen.

    See? It's logical.

    It doesn't matter, since the Clippers are winning it all, right? That is what you said....
