[Dunc n Dave]

Still think Dallas has a shot at that 8th seed. I think they have the easier schedule compared to the Lakers and Jazz.

[Reck]

Lakers are fucked. None of those games look winnable aside from that New Orleans one.

Utah at least has Minnesota twice so they can split that and still be good.

They only have one road game.

[Arnold Toht]

They only have one road game.

They still lose close games at home

[Arcadian]

The Lakers will go 2-6, maybe 3-5.

The Jazz will go 4-4, maybe 5-3.

[sook]

bleh.

[Jt.ONE]

the april 2 game is going to be pretty big

[Mugen]

the april 2 game is going to be pretty big

Great take tbh.

[ElNono]

the april 2 game is going to be pretty big

Disagree, tbh... the bunch of games right after will make or break the Lakeshow chances, IMO

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah has 3 games that they should absolutely win, LA has 1..neither team has any definite losses..it'll be interesting..

Dallas is out if they lose on Tuesday, obviously..

[Mugen]

Going to be a tough task to get the Lakers into the playoffs, but I know one man who's up to the task. If jew know what I mean.

[Bynumite]

The L against the Wiz @ home still bugs me when i think about the Lakers most recent fuck ups.

The Jazz have the best remaining schedule but i still take comfort in the fact that 6 of our last 8 games are @ Staples.

I think Dallas will make it.

7 of 8 tbh.

No, 7 of the last 8.

[Bynumite]

They won't. It's between the Lakeshow and the Jazz at this point and Utah has the seed and schedule going for them.

[Bynumite]

No, 7 of the last 8.

Ok... vs the Clippers, got it.

[Sean Cagney]

They won't. It's between the Lakeshow and the Jazz at this point and Utah has the seed and schedule going for them.

I mean they could if they win a few in a row and Utah and LA lose a few, anything is possible I guess. They are not that far behind correct? There is 8 left for you and no clue about Utah, but a few losses would hurt now alot. If they beat LA head to head thats huge.

BTW I saw Nash bowed out again Early? Injuries this time of year suck.

[Mugen]

Too early to bury Dallas tbh. They've actually beaten decent teams recently. Not juggernauts like the Wolves/Kings but still.

If the Lakers lose Tuesday then they're done IMO.

[Mugen]

He thought he saw his kids in the stands and booked it out of the arena.

[ElNono]

Remaining tough games for each team (IMO):

Jazz:
vs Denver
@ Golden State
vs Oklahoma City
@ Memphis

Mavs:
@ Lakers
@ Denver
@ Portland
vs Denver
vs Memphis

Lakers:
vs Dallas
vs Memphis
@ Clippers
@ Portland
vs Golden State
vs San Antonio (Spurs could decide to rest this one out if #1 seed is locked)
vs Houston


You could argue the @ Portland games might not be an issue with Aldrige out, but Portland has nothing to lose at this point and they'll love to fuck any team up. And winning in the Rose Garden can be tough.

LOL if we beat you tuesday, youre done

[Budkin]

Race for 8 is more exciting than the race for the top seed.

[ElNono]

I could see the Lakers beating Dallas, then dropping 3/4 games afterwards... The Spurs game could easily shut them off the playoffs like we shut them off the Forum, tbh

Only Kori's underwear drawer is more exciting.

Look at this cocksucker insulating himself against a loss on Tuesday. Somebody ought to build a shoestore in your ass. If I was 40 years younger.

[Bynumite]

4 game road trip for dem mavs starting Tuesday vs LAL and Dirk is surrounded by way too many scrubs to make a run for the 8th seed while still hoping for the other two teams in the race to fuck things up ... solly.

Not saying LAL will make it, the odds clearly favor Utah imo.

[ElNono]

Look at this cocksucker insulating himself against a loss on Tuesday.

I'm stating the next 3/4 games after tuesday can be much more important as far as the Lakers' chances to land that 8th seed.

It's a valid take, unlike the ":cry grim business :cry" or http://theparrotforum.com/images/smilies/emoticons/Caique.gif

I'm already on the line with the Lakeshow missing the playoffs, tbh... something I predicted back in December/January...

^You're like DUNCAN:::you ain't got a hair on yer ass.

[ElNono]

^ what will you do if the Spurs shut your season down, Dale?

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

I have Utah finishing up 4-4. Lakers schedule is harder to predict.... New Orleans and GS are maybe the most winnable??
Dallas needs to win Tuesday or whatever slim hopes they have vanish. If dem Mavs win Tuesday... then we have something to talk about.

i dont think they going to win against portland unless portland are clearly tanking atm after there last 2 dismal games clearly tankn already

[Latarian Milton]

lakers are playing poor and they're plagued with injuries, while the mavs have been ascending but it's still a hard call i gotta say. refs will screw up everything if they want to and the 8th seed will be more of the league's choice rather than the game's tbh. im just hoping the league (stern) will get to a point where they start to relinquish the preference for them lakers, which will be the only possibility for mavs to make the playoffs imho

7 out of 8 isn't it?

[Reck]

Utah won a big game tonight.

After that Thunder game they should be good.

For the Lakers, after that New Orleans game it will be hell. Probably will go 2-3 for the remainder of games from here on out and that will not do it imo.
