Great, so I'm done arguing with a couple of guys who can't even read, count and have a basic reasoning.
I agree, I give up too, explaining this logic to Bruno is like explaining it to a rock.
NBA, ESPN are all wrong, Bruno is right but can't explain how

Great, so I'm done arguing with a couple of guys who can't even read, count and have a basic reasoning.
I thought the thread is if the Lakers have or have not clinched a spot, not whether how they have clinched. The latter is incredibly easy to answer: They won games.
So Bruno, you think the Lakers have not clinched a spot? Also, what is your main claim/point you are trying to prove here? Besides that Allanon's logic is wrong.
You're a reasonable logical man who can read, count and have basic reasoning right? Not like us idiots who can't.
So please Master Bruno, just answer this:
1) Have the Lakers clinched a playoff seat?
2) If yes or no, why?

That's all I wanted to prove/say.
Thank u Bruno for support, and thank u duncan228 for the rules.
Some guys take this way too serious, but - as mentioned - the should learn how to read and count before talkin about even unserious !
Bruno never said the Lakers are not clinched, that was just me... and yahoo.com, for some hours this evening. First they said Lakers are clinched, then not, now they are clinched again, with no further games played.
Everything is said about the rules, the numbers are there, it is kind of difficult, but read it, get you´re head straight, maybe get a calculator, and u see, there still is a chance, the Warriors can catch the Lakers, even if it is a very, very small one!
But probably it has to be considered, for the Lakers to miss the POs, not only GS has to catch them, but all the other teams currently ranking behind them (WC spots 4-8) too.
And because some of those teams face each other in the remaining RS it is impossible for the Lakers goin down to the 9th spot!
So, I´m finally convinced, the Lakers are in...
...and now let´s get back to the serious :
Beat Portland! And clinch it!
GOSPURSGO!
Correction:
"That's all I wanted to say." We're still all waiting on the proof part.
1) Have the Lakers clinched a playoff seat?
2) If yes or no, why?
Okay then. But I'm still confused on why Denver and Golden State were even mentioned.
First, my official le is great master.
Second, I don't know if Lakers have clinched a playoff spot or not. You had to look at a lot of different cases with teams tied at 52-30. If they have clinched, it's not for the reasons you said.
You still don't understand why your reasoning was wrong ?
Thank you Great Master.
You're welcome.Thank you Great Master.
You should know that the Lakers have clinched a PO spot because the two teams you keep on mentioning GS and Den play each other Thursday April 10th on TNT so one of them HAS TO LOSE guarnteeing the Lakers a spot no matter what. Unless if they both win that game.
If you look at the West schedule a number of teams play each other that would affect the Lakers PO status further validating a Lakers spot in the PO's, because one of those teams has to lose.
The answer canbe found in post # 56 (for those who are interested)
Exactly.
I know that.
Den has only 29 losses. If they lose this game, they can still finish with a 52-30 record.
If GS win all theirs games, they will finish with a 52-30 record.
If Lakers lose all theirs games, they will finish with a 52-30 record.
Then you will have a three team tie breaker. Lakers have that three team tie breaker. They will get the 7th seed if these three teams are tied are 52-30.
What I'm saying is that a 4th or 5th team could also end up with a 52-30 record. It will change the tie breaker. You had to look at all the combination possible. Maybe one could put Lakers at the 9th seed, maybe not.
That's what I'm trying to say to Bruno. Even if Bruno is right, I have a better chance of winnign the lottery before that happens.
It's....................finallly.................. ....over...............
