And FWIW, Rob still made the moves too late. Had he made moves earlier then lakers are. 3 seed

ABSOLUTELY.

Which is all anyone ever said post-trade.

They have a good team.

Just ran out of time to realistically move into the top 4.

Still had a chance to make the playoffs outright.

That Houston game is what fucked them.

You could predict they’d lose to the Clippers, no shame in that.

But, sitting Davis in that game was the difference In finishing 7th.

DJ gonna DJ. lol

Lmao

Yeah…but, I’m done.

We have much better things to discuss.

There wasn't really any doubt the Ws would win today though.

There was some because of your road record and no Wiggins.

But yeah, had to figure Steph and Klay would show up...and they did.

Did you guys really hit 12 threes in the 1st quarter?

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Lol!

I mean, just BLASTED them from the jump.

Lakers and Clippers did the exact opposite…lol

 

[Mecca]

Lol!

Lmfao

Probably. There was no doubt at all they would win. That road record did not count playing teams actively trying to lose.

Lakers and Clippers had much tougher opponents. Did you see that Blazers lineup?

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Lmfao

I wish the Suns could’ve played them in the first round…

I want to see if anyone has the balls to pick the Kings in this series.

I.

Do.

Not.

Dude, we played them yesterday.

Kevin Knox hit us with a 30 burger.

So,e guy name Waterford hit us with 24.

Clippers didn’t pull away until the 4th.

Your game was over the first 8 minutes.

ZERO playoff experience…

Settled the bet with @fightinfunbags

Pick out an avatar @Mecca.....any bet I post in the BE gets whacked. I will sport an avatar you choose for a few weeks.....since YOU WERE RIGHT. The Lakers DID NOT get the 6 seed.

 

[tlance]

Reasonable argument could be made that a team would take Kessler for Gobert SU.

That is just inexplicably bad.

I don’t know.

No team in their right mind would trade Kessler for Gobert.

Gobert is a bad contract.

And he was when Minny traded for him.

Thanks, Bud.

Respect.

Not your fault the bet got zapped multiple times.

Honestly while the Kings will be a less tough opponent than the Suns, they are not even close to a gimme. Might even be favored. We still don't know how the Ws will look on the road in games that matter vs teams that are hungry. That's what makes it fun.

It'd be fun to see the Lakers beat Memphis and the Warriors beat Sacto. 2nd round playoff matchup, Warriors with home court. Probably a great 7 game series.

Y’all had an avi bet? Make it gay as fuck lol and you have to post everyday, DJ

Yes and no.

As far as being able to get into the top 4 or 5...it was too late.

But it would have cost them more if they had done it sooner.

I'm kind of mixed about it.

On the one hand, I'd feel a whole lot better about their chances of winning the WC if they'd have done it sooner...

On the other hand, that 1st rounder could come in handy if they need to make a trade to help the team in the off season.

I'm bored so going to start some series threads for the confirmed round 1 series
