Lakers down 12
While it would have been nice to have a high draft pick, eliminating the Lakers is pretty sweet. It feels even better knowing that their relatively high draft position goes to New Orleans and the Spurs.
When's the next time the Lakers get their own pick?
I guess NO being just as bad LA makes the swap rights next to worthless?
Yup, we in. Phoenix is tearing Lakers a new one and the Lakers seem to be enjoying the experience.
Laker down big! we're in! now lets see if we can over take NO! Give me that game against the Clip, win or lose!
Lakers down 26 in the 3rd.
This is a wrap, we going to the play-in
Suns gotta be pumped to finish the Lakers after AD said they would have beat them if he was healthy.
LeBron was all laughs on the sidelines. He doesn't give a lol.
Anthony Davis has always been a soft-ass mother er.
Lakers
Literally did worse than a team that was in lottery mode pretty much all year
New Orleans can swap positions in 2023 and then choose either the Lakers 2024 or 2025 pick. The next Lakers first round pick without strings attached won’t be until 2026.
Fakers losing, love to see it, every time. Thoroughly enjoyable season for this alone among many other factors. No matter how the Spurs end up doing (how high a pick could they end up with if they lost at the play-in, best case scenario? Anyone know?), knowing the Fakers are missing the POs and don't even get a pick to show for it, whilst having by far the oldest roster in the league, crowned with being tied to paying a decrepit Westbrook another $47 million dollars next season...
Just beautiful. Couldn't have drawn it up better.
Hahaha we ousted the Lakers!!
Makes this year oh so worth it!!!
Fakers: down 15 in the closing minutes of a must-win game
AD: stepback midrange jumper
Just a reminder that the Lakers missed the playoffs and there is a 99% chance their first round pick goes to New Orleans, the team that helped kick them out of the playoffs
Play-in locked in. Now beat NOP and knock out LAC in the second game of the play-in. That would be sweet, though it's already awesome.
Shouldn't you be saying something about moving the team to Vegas or Seattle??
What's the 1% chance they keep their pick about?
They still wouldn't keep it in that scenario. It'd go to Memphis instead, if the pick lands out of top 10.
In short, Lakers = ed!
for a minute I thought I missed something

It could go to Memphis...
This run in to play-in seems better than I expected look at the following line line-up
Primo
Jones
Vassell
McD/KBD
Zollins.
4 of 5 guys in that line-up plays majority of the 1Q against the Nuggets starters to a virtual draw and they could be our reserves line-up next season, as long as all our guys keep it up we are definitely gonna have a very good chance in the PO.
Honestly, we've being playing great for the last month, the team is fully confident and we just beat Denver without many starters. Everything can happen in the Play In.
Hope Pop starts resting guys now that the play-in is a lock. No need to win these last 3 games to have a worse pick
