I understand we want the highest seeding possible and avoid the play-in, but the matchup seems like the more important piece and it’s something we have little control over. How good is that 6th seed if we end up facing the Nuggs as the 3rd seed in the 1st round? I would almost rather face GSW & PHX in the play-in games and then face a #1 seeded OKC in the 1st round. The trick is to avoid DEN & SAC as much as possible….imho

Add the Clippers to the list
Aloha,
All Lakers fans eyes have been fixed on what the Suns, Kings and Mavs do down the stretch. I would add the Clippers to that list. After the Lakers beat the 76ers and Pacers, the Clippers lost to both at home. They have lost 6 of the last 9 and have fallen to 5th, a mere 2 games out of 7th. They also have quite a few tough games coming up. And they are healthy. We hold the tie breaker against them so it could be huge if they slip to 7th or 8th. One wonders what management will do if they fail badly in the playoffs. Their stars have been available most of the time. PG and Harden are both free agents. It will be interesting to see if they pay them.
Rondo waiting for LeBron to own NBA team before coaching
“I’m just waiting on Bron to buy that team in Vegas” – @RajonRondo explaining why he isn’t yet following former teammate @KingJames’ recommendation that he get into coaching. Rondo says he definitely eventually wants a bench job…and intends to bring @BoogieCousins with him. pic.twitter.com/RQoC4jsC1t
