Just to liven things up around here... Would you be happy with where we are currently standing based on the rankings of the other teams? Personally, i wouldn't want to be in the 4th or 5th spots... sure we have a good chance against the clippers/mavs, but that would mean a 2nd rd. date with the Thunder. I would prefer it if we fell down to 6th, and we'd be up against Dallas/Clippers which we should be able of overtaking, then we'd set up a matchup against the Spurs which we can surely beat (even though they turn into an entirely different beast in the playoffs) or else we wouldn't deserve to win anything. Then face OKC in the finals. Thoughts?
This season looks so different, I don't think I have any preference regarding seeding, to me, the Lakers should aim for winning most games and worry about the other stuff later.
