    It seems we are in a bit of a quagmire. Memphis plays Portland next...The loser moves into the 8th spot (I believe), or in Memphis' case stays there. New Orleans would have to lose both games to move down it looks like. I may be wrong though, if someone wants to correct me

    Who would give LA a stiffer test - MEM or POR? LA doesn't like the length and athleticism of POR. MEM has Randolph/Gasol to match up against Gasol/Bynum and Battier and Tony Allen to guard Kobe. Which team would you rather LA play?

    If there's a 3 way tie, NOH holds all the tie-breakers so they'll have to lose 1 more than MEM and POR to drop to 8.

    Pretty much. If Memphis beats Portland and both teams wind up with the same record then Portland is the 8th seed. Go Portland...I'd much rather play Memphis.

    I would rather see LA play Portland because it seems that there is actually a little more bad blood there...

    Memphis gives the lakers all kinds of trouble but if you take everything into account including the gasol trade, the gasol brothers, the jerry west influence...it is hard to believe that Memphis won't eventually settle for a "moral" victory and bend over in the end.

    Portland though, will at least relish beating the lakers...

    if Memphis beats Portland and they have the same record, Memphis will still be the 8th because the Blazers AND Hornets have a better division record.

    If NO lose its last 2 games, Memphis wins at least 1 game, NO finishes 8th...

    (NO stays at 46 W and both Memphis and Portland have at least 47...)

    That is for teams that are in the same division. Conference record is the next tiebreaker...and Memphis' would be better.

    I keep hearing that the Trail Blazers have size, but nothing could be further from the truth. They may be long, but they have no size depth and of their three healthy bigs (one of whom is a D-League), not one has the strength to adequately defend Bynum. They're severely undersized and over the course of a series, the Lakers would pound them relentlessly in the paint, save for stretches where Bryant strays from that.

    I'd much rather the Lakers have to face the Grizzlies.

    +1..Portland wouldn't give the Lakers too much trouble, their lack of depth and size up front is troubling, and they don't have the perimeter players to give LA trouble on a consistent basis..

    Memphis would definitely be the ideal matchup..Randolph and Gasol always give Gasol and Bynum a lot of trouble and Tony Allen defends Kobe well..

    by my last count the Blazers have beaten us 7 of the last 9 times we've faced them. i'm not sure why any of you would want to face them.

    Miller and Aldridge own this team.

    Lakers now have a lot riding on Tuesday's game (2nd seed / matchup vs NOH if they win and 3rd or 4th where they'd face MEM or POR if they lose). The Spurs have little to nothing to play for.

    LAL has SAS and SAC. In this case, they should easily win both, and keep 2nd seed.

    Portland should win out, since they have Memphis at home.

    You have to figure the Hornets beat the Jazz. Then it will all come down to who wins between Portland and Memphis.

    The Warriors are always a nightmare for us in Oakland. That one will not be easy.
