That would be hilarious.
There's also a chance they still play the Spurs.
Lakers winning the first round series against OKC would be equivalent to winning a le for them this year.
That would be hilarious.

Winning a le is winning a lePERIOD
Preach Cully, we dont honor moral les in Lakerland
I refuse to partake in these pie-in-the-sky shenanigans
moral victories lol
Dats a Clipper fan mindset ... you know that "other" team that plays at Staples ...
I thought LA had almost zero chance of beating OKC in 7 even with a healthy Kobe. They're the only team in the West I would say that about. OKC is simply the worst possible matchup for LA.
^We have see how they fare without Harden and with Martin. That absence released a lot of pressure for us and anybody else for that matter. Harden was no shrinking violet. And he was no false prophet like Westbrook. Harden has obviously been tutored in the fine art of intimidation by Perkins because he made Kobe retreat like Lewis Lloyd had done Magic way back. That loss is going to be reckoned withPERIOD
Except Kobe was making promises about just making the playoffs v winning a le this year..
It's the means to the end.
The refs would have to completely turn on the thuderrefs for that to happen
He knows deeply just getting his obtuse on ...
No. With teams focused on winning it all, playoffs are a foregone conclusion. You don't mention it, much like you don't mention lacing up your sneakers as that is step 1 of everything. He lowered expectations due to his own short comings and lowered himself to preaching on something that makes not a bit of damn difference.
Right on cue!
The Lakers can still get the 7th seed. They own the tie breaker over Houston and Golden State. But if both win tonight, then the Lakers are locked in to the 8th seed.
LeBron mentions the playoffs is he not focused on repeat?
Don't be obtuse. When Lebron speaks to the playoffs, it's about a focus all the way through and how tough it is to repeat. Kobe was literally discussing the prospects of just making it there.
I mean, could you imagine if Lebron was wasting his breath on making guarantees of just making the playoffs? The hate spewed from that would be palpable.
We've had 80 games to see how they fare. They're currently a 1 seed in the West and won the season series 3-1 against the Lakers. I'm not suggesting OKC is coming out of the West as champs this year. I'm not convinced of that yet. However, the Lakers, even with Kobe Bryant, are completely outmatched and stand no chance in a 7 game series - regardless of the fact that Harden has been swapped for Martin.
On face value I agree. The unknown is the absence of Harden. You did not replace him. Martin is not the replacement. The playoffs are not the regular season, O. It's proven nothing in conjunction with the Harden loss. These playoffs will be the litmus test for that loss. But, we stand no chance. Perkins is licking his chops to get at Gasol & Howard. We have nobody to match up with any quickness whatsoever. All we can do is tip it and take our medicine. It's like the original "Poseidon Adventure" and the 50 foot tidal wave scene. "Oh, my God." - Leslie Nielsen.
That's what we're looking at.
I know one thing, we would be licking our chops if the Lakers faced the Spurs instead.
Two things:
I don't waste time imagining ...child's play tbh
Hate being spewed is something you wallow in daily under the guise of truth
Even that is a lot of wishful boasting. Nothing based in fact. Pop would go immediately to the Hack-a-Howard +++ he'd run us to the death. NYC will immediately lift any restraints after the conclusion of the regular season Wednesday nite. We'll be left to fend for ourselves and our own devices. We have none. tee, hee. But, there is nothing you can do. We did this to ourselves. It commenced with the inexplicable & lurid attraction to Paul & Howard and accelerated with the abandonment of Odom & Fisher. Reality whether you're ringin' or standing in the way of that 50 foot tidal wave is bittersweet. And always will be. Something is lost and something is gained. That's life.
