I’ll take this bet if you’re willing.

If only it were real money.

Great win by the Lakers.

They looked AWESOME.

But, goddamn….

Way to set yourself up for disappointment..lol

We don’t have shit to do.

No real basketball for a week.

So, let’s chop it up.

Here are the standings and the remaining games for some of the teams.

Who will the Lakers catch?

It really is just simple math at this point of the season.

If the Lakers go 15-8 over their last 23 games they finish with a record or 42-40. Or basically just behind the pace that Dallas is on right now currently. So a .650 winning percentage (or in other words being one of the better teams in the league) probably doesnt even get them the #6 seed.

You would need to project the Lakers winning at elite level clip of 17-6 (a .740 winning percentage) to get them to 44-38 which is likely what it will take to get up to the 5 or 6 seed.

That is crazy to think that this Lakers team could do it. But if they have a chance, the next 7 games will tell us what we need to know. Warriors twice, Griz twice, Timberwolves, OKC and Mav's once. And the OKC game they likely will be sitting people as it is a road/road back to back. Will need 5-2 to keep pace.

You got better.

Some of the teams that are ahead of you, we’re already better, and they improved as well.

Won’t be long until we see whose right.

Also, Dallas is up 2-0 on the Lakers.

You have to pass them, they already own the tie breakers.

You added 3 shinny quarters and Mamba is about a dime.

They added a full dollar bill in Kyrie.

Question is: Is that bill counterfeit fools gold?

The Lakers got better on defense and defense.

The Mavs lost defense and got better on offense.

We shall see.

Who's joking gigi was a better player than bronny will ever be....

Listen you piece of shit…

Ignore me and I will extend you the same courtesy.

Or, we can turn this entire website into fucking Beirut.

You are a vile, disgusting piece of plutonium covered dogshit.

Do the world a favor and walk your bitch ass into shark infested water.

We have the 3rd easiest schedule left.....think we will win 16 or 17 of those games.

If you're so confidant let's line those bets up...saw at least 3 more than are willing to take your fake cash

Going with a 7 seed.

The problem is you have a injury prone guy yourself.

Some of the teams ahead of you, like the Clippers, have proven they can beat you even with one of their top guys out.

If we lose Kawhi, gonna hurt.

If you lose Lebron or Davis, you are completely fucked when it comes to catching up.

Booker and CP3 missed time.

They are 9-1 in the Pacific Division.

The Lakers are 2-9.

The Clippers are 6-4

The Kings are 5-6.

Tie breakers for playoff seeding goes Head to Head, Division leader, Division won loss, conference won loss.

You are pretty much behind in every category.

So, while it isn’t mathematically impossible, it is very improbable you get top 6.

Should have clarified myself more.

I wasn't saying they're going to beat them because of the other teams injuries.

I meant to say that teams like the Suns or Clips might rest their players closer to the playoffs because they don't want to risk injuries. Especially if their seeding has already been set.

No.

There’s trolling and there is being a disgusting sub-human.

Comparing a dead child to anyone is out of pocket.

Why? Did your mom have to back to the docks so she can't do it herself?

 

[DJ Fieri]

No.

I almost said something, but just ignored his comment. Like I usually do when he pops in here to get some attention by saying stupid shit.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I got Mecca on winning this one.....anybody care to take TBJ?

I can set up the bet.

 

[tabascojet]

No.

Joan of arc >> joe biden....one is a dead child and comparisons are a valid form of debate

Here ya go.

Enjoy it with the rest of your incel buddies in the basement.

 

[thunderc]

Whoa, the Spurs have lost 14 straight???? Who is Popovich tanking for this time?

You have to ask?

 

[Wamu]

Who's joking gigi was a better player than bronny will ever be....

Man just STFU.

What you're doing is completely outta line.

There's no need to ask what's wrong with you.

Anyone that would bring Gigi up like this is an idiot.

Does it make you feel better about yourself to bring her up like this? Is your self esteem so low you have to sink to these kind of levels to feel better about yourself?

You ain't right.

Oh, okay.

Still, that likely won’t happen either.

Nobody is safe, outside of maybe Denver.

Clippers have gone from 4th to 6th on days when they did even have a game.
