Who could be the Lakers' biggest threat at the 8th seed?

[djohn2oo8]

In your opinion, what team would be the most likely to upset the Lakers?

[Donkeybong]

Thunder. I would have originally said portland, but they are so depleted it doesnt even look like they'll be as big of a threat.

[MavDynasty]

Memphis has a big frontline imo and they should bring back thabeet from the d league come playoff time if they make it so he can block/and or take up fouls that gasol and bynum will draw

[Lukor]

the poll is not very realistic. For example i don't see the Suns or the Thunder dropping to the 8th seed, they're playing too well.
And i don't see any of the .500 teams making a huge run right now,it's very likely that the 8 playoff teams are going to be those that we see right now.

Memphis. Too many scorers, good size, great rebounding...

Not when Bonner can shut down Zach Randolf.

memphis or portland. memphis beat lakers once, then lost on a game winner (mayo missed 2 ft that could have iced it)

[Kai]

The Thunder simply because they are the best team on the list. none of those teams will beat LA. only Dallas & Denver have a shot.

Edit: Maybe Utah too. they've been playing out of their minds
