Yea this is crazy if this is true
I would think the Thunder can win at Utah and at home in the final game against a memphis who shouldn’t be playing anyone in that game. Utah is a bit of a wild card though because Markenan came back and played yesterday. Not sure what they are doing. 2 wins shuts Dallas out anyway.

So....

What seed do the Lakers end up getting?

Playing Utah (twice), Clippers and Suns.

I'm going with 6th

To be honest, i'll quite happily take 6, 7 or 8.

The way the Lakers are playing right now, I see them making a very competitive series against either the Nugs, Griz or Kings

The last thing I would want is them to get the 5th spot and face the Suns. And if they go 4-0 over the last remaining games that's exactly what they'll get.

So you have them losing vs the Jazz? Tuesday is a bit of a trap game as the real last game of the road trip before the matchup with the Clips.

You previously had them beating the Clips and Suns. If the Lakers win out, both the Warriors winning out and the Clips winning their non-Laker games would need to happen to keep them out of at least 6th.

I still am expecting at least 1 loss, but depends on what these teams are still playing for.

I think you can beat all 3.

Especially Denver.

The main reason I won’t flat out pick you to make the playoffs is because would exclude the Clippers.

But, also because of opponents the Lakers/Dubs/ Clips have remaining.

Now that the Mavs are laying down their weapons, the Jazz still have a chance to catch the Thunder.

You face them twice and should beat them twice.

But, you never know.

I think the Suns and Kings will lie down because they are pretty much locked in.

So, the Winner of the Lakers vs Clippers is probably going to make it in.

We play you, Blazers, Suns.

Win 2 of the 3 and we should be safe.

I had them 4-1 with a chance of 5-0.

See the post before this one for the rest of the answer.
