of course you smell fear. you a got that doesn't pay bets like other lakerfans
Teams with great records post all-star break typically do not far well in the post-season.
The Lakers are peaking now, and it's still 2+ weeks before the playoffs begin.
They're going to dominate round 1, but as round 2 gets underway, you will see them start to slip up. They won't be able to stay hot over an extended period of time, it's just not how teams work, save the all-time great squads, which I would guess even Laker fans know that this is not one of them.
it could go either way IMO.
For example the Celtics, they suck after star break and usually make the finals.
on the other hand, young teams like OKC/Bulls kick ass in the end but will suck in the playoffs.
Spurs/Celtics will be there this year.
LA, nobody knows. IMO once a team beats LA once in the playoffs, they will be in trouble. LA just doesn't have the confidence this year. That explains why they celebrate every win over a good team like they won a championship.

I would be willing to do ELE bets on my predictions BTW. But these LA gots are like that 41times maggot. Neither know how to carry out a bet.
What predictions? You framed it every gd way possible. No matter what transpires in the next three months you're covered.I would be willing to do ELE bets on my predictions BTW. But these LA gots are like that 41times maggot. Neither know how to carry out a bet.
gd cully
Predictions:
- OKC/Bulls will not keep this pace in the playoffs and struggle. Will eventually lose to a superior team
- Spurs/Celtics will both make at least the Conference Finals. Which means they will wake up in the playoffs compared to what they are doing now.
- LA has no real confidence. They celebrate each regular win like they won a playoff series. This is why once a team gives them trouble in the playoffs, they will fold like tissue
Please:::
"LA, nobody knows."
If the Lakers and Spurs end up with the same record, playoff tiebreakers:
1. Division leader: both division leaders, go to next tiebreaker
2. Head-to-head: Spurs lead 2-1 with one game remaining, if Lakers win last match-up, go to next tiebreaker
3. Division W-L%: Lakers currently 11-3 in division, 2 remaining @ Golden State, @ Sacramento, Spurs currently 10-5, 1 remaining @ Houston (Spurs must win @ Houston and Lakers lose to both Warriors and Kings to tie and go to next tiebreaker or Lakers get first seed)
4. Conference W-L%: Spurs 35-11 (6 remaining), Lakers 32-11 (9 remaining), this one should decide it, if not the third tiebreaker doesn't
Probably should be decided by that, if not, the rest of the tiebreakers:
5. W-L% versus playoff teams in Western Conference
6. W-L% versus playoff teams in Eastern Conference
7. Total points
Hypothetically, let's say Spurs finish 5-3 the rest of the way. The Lakers would have to win out their last 9 games, which would obviously include beating the Spurs and winning their last two division games against the Warriors and Kings. Spurs and Lakers would have the same record but the Lakers would take the third tiebreaker. The one thing the Lakers have to do to have a chance (without finishing with the outright better overall record) is beat the Spurs in their last match-up). That will give them a chance. Certainly not easy for the Lakers to pull it off. They'll still need help from the Spurs. But it's possible.

Don't know what your threshold is for "great," but I'd say it's winning 75% of your games... and the 09 Lakers, 08 Celtics, 07 Spurs, 04 Pistons, 03 Spurs, and 00 Lakers all had great records after the break.
As for "peaking," the 07 Spurs, 06 Heat, 04 Pistons, 03 Spurs, 01 Lakers, and 00 Lakers were all a lot better after the break than before.
I'd be impressed if you had that memorized.
You guys don't want the top seed? Yeah right Lol So if the teams are tied with two games to go you will rest your starters?
lol calculating to see if the lakers can catch up. Fear is strong with this one.We're still ahead of the West by a comfortable margin
The thing is, the Lakers and the rest of the scrub teams from the West have to wait for our stars to get injured just to make headway in the standings.
At the end of the day though, we have wrapped up the West and even if we lose all of our games, the Lakers are just going to tie us for the best record.
Good luck playing catch-up, maggots
Not so comfortable anymore is it, got.We're still ahead of the West by a comfortable margin

lol
all those posts.... and nothing to show for em. too funny
Great song.
Classic gfunk.
Nate Dogg - "I was at the park one day ...that 's when i saw her face. She looked kinda cavy to meeeee. And when i take her home and tap that ass Im gone ...Im just a dog dont blame meee"
No ,Last I checked, all of your starters are playing over 35 minutes a game, trying to catch-up the Spurs in the standings.
Again, good luck playing catch-up.
They'd play extended mins regardless because they don't wanna lose the 2 seed.
But given the epic choke job that is ensuing your sorry ass team is just gonna lose the 1st seed and won't have anything to show for this season.
LMFAOROFL.
Man, seems like this board just lets people make stuff up.
Let's get the facts straight.
Before this Lakers team, 4 others have gone on to win 15-1 since the All-Star Break. The Lakers are the 5th.
3 of the 4 won the championship. Detroit in 1989-90, Chicago in 1990-91 and the Lakers in 1999-2000 (Phil Jackson’s first Lakers season).
The fourth that didn't got to the finals. The Jazz in 97-98.
This doesn't mean a thing in the grand scheme of things but at least, you know have facts. But then again, this is ST. The bastion of the ill-informed.
Lakers clinched the third tiebreaker with the Spurs losing to Houston, if the two teams end up with the same record.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Nothing funnier on ST than someone getting called on their bull
big daddy Ghazi wants to the out of you
Lost 4 games to the Grizzlies
