Why would anybody want to play LA in the 1st round?..
They are clearly better than Houston or Utah, especially for playoff basketball..
The Spurs would need 6 tough games vs. LA IMO, while they would probably beat Houston/Utah in 5 relatively easy games, tbh..
Spurs would probably have more problems guarding Harden alone than the Lakeshow... Houston is also chock full of 3 point shooters that can ruin any night...
Agree about Utah, although I think the Spurs can get past the 1st round relatively easily, health permitting.
Houston is a regular season team IMO..poor defensive team that runs, only 1 player that can create his own shot consistently, no offensively reliable big men..
Utah is definitely the easy choice, but I'd rather get Houston rather than LA..
Maybe. Possibly. But the best possible scenario from this fan's perspective would be for the Lakers to miss the playoffs entirely.
As others have pointed out, if the Lakers do make the playoffs, that would mean that they will have turned their season around in a dramatic way.So it's hard to say how menacing they would be today. In order to make the playoffs, their level of play will have necessarily improved quite a bit. No thanks.
During the past month, the Lakers have the 3rd best record in the league, behind San Antonio and Miami. However, I could care less if we meet them in the 1st round. Even if it would be a harder series than playing Houston, I would get a lot more satisfaction from dispatching LA after they worked all the way back from the trash heap to get to the playoffs.
Preference 1) Lakers miss the playoffs as a whole. Screw 'em. Jazz round 1
Preference 2) Lakers make playoffs and we get the glory of pushing their ish in
As I said, Utah is the ideal choice..the Spurs would probably sweep them, tbh..their perimeter game is atrocious..
They're not making the playoffs. So sowwy Chawie
