Magic Johnson had a HOF career playing basketball. He also started a successful minority owned theater chain in LA.
He's failed at everything else he's tried in life.
Does this mean it is only fair that they get Zion?....Oh, are we ting on the Lakers in here?

We looking good over last 6+ yrs....

I will still be yelling collusion if that happens.
Even so, Magic would probably trade him for a bag of magic beans.
The world when the Lakers last had a losing record: Look around.
It's even sicker if you add in 10-11 and 11-12, while taking out 17-18 and 18-19. You get a win% of 0.742 (an average of 60.8 wins over an 82-game season) over a 7-year stretch.
If the Warriors win out this season, their 7-year average would be 0.737. Those (relatively) poor 12-13 and 13-14 seasons will roll of soon, but there's no guarantee all their FAs will stick around either.
I remember in past seasons thinking Spurs were doing poorly when under .750. Just another greedy spoiled Spurs homer.
Yes. Don't get me wrong, I get upset when the Spurs string together a bunch of games where they are playing and losing like trash, but I also was saying stuff like "Let's pump the brakes a bit. Look at a team like the Lakers, who arguably have more overall talent, and are ting the bed still." You have to have some perspective. But it's definitely ok to be an angry homer from time to time. It shows "passion".
i would always look for them to hit the magic .732 because thats what put them on pace for 60 wins
We should all be so lucky.
Or as my wife says "obsession." haha
hopefully we see that # next season. Current team looks poised though.
Mavs win against Portland would be nice, Raps beating the Thunder would be solid as well.
Truth.
Dude beat both Larry Bird and HIV, those are two tough customers.
That said, I want the LeBron-era Lakers to be a dumpster fire.
Jazz remaining schedule (our compe or for 6/5 seed):
@ ATL
@ CHI
vs PHX
vs LAL
vs WAS
vs CHA
@ PHX
vs SAC
@ LAL
vs DEN
@ LAC
so basically only *maybe* 2 losses in their next 11 games, if they keep it up. In other words, welcome to the 6th/7th seed, es
They play games for a reason. They might not lose a game, they might lose 5
Going back to last season and including playoffs, the Spurs are 27-51 on the road, basically a .35 winning %...
Wow tbh. Those are lottery team numbers...
Obviously loser players like Patty, Pau, and Bryn getting heavy minutes is a big reason but lot of that record falls on failing to get the team properly prepared when the games aren't easy....
Well, I guess the magic couldn't last forever. The Spurs 9-game winning streak ended in disappointing fashion against the easiest matchup of the week.
Granted, the Spurs did mount a late comeback...and if it weren't for Wade's miracle 50-footer, they may have gotten over the hump. Still, with two rough road games looming, the Spurs have a tough task ahead if they want to avoid a 3-game losing streak and a spring date with Golden State (hey, that rhymes!).
In better news, the Lakers are now officially out of the Magic Number race. Let's all take a moment to point and laugh. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are hanging on by a thread, and the Kings are now a solid 7 games back on the pack.
There are a number of matchups that could help the Spurs tonight, but I don't expect much luck. The Wolves, Nuggets, Jazz, and Warriors all have games against Eastern conference fodder, and the Kings host the tanking Mavericks.
Still, there is a reason they play the games, so we will keep our fingers crossed.

Jazz lost to Hawks.
I'll update the chart soon, but...that means we currently have a 4-way tie at 42-30.
Coukd be another one of those wacky tie-breaker seasons.
Wow. You have to admire a guy who can hold a grudge that long.
We are all waiting for the 4-tie tiebreaks explanation...

So true, he failed at making a son too.
This is the only worthy take in this thread so far
It seems more and more that the 7-8th seed will be between OKC and SA.
Probably all will be decided on last day of the season. Funny how Utah@Clips might be a game both will want to lose.
