IF Dwight and Nash get their sh*t together! I really can't tell. As long as Kobe's healthy - it's possible.. So I do believe they'll make the 'offs.

kingfish Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have no doubts about finishing .500. What I doubt is that we make the playoffs, were 3 games back in the loss column. Unless Houston falls off or Utah realllly falls off, were done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 LA will take Utah's spot. So yes, it's good enough to make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2013 Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Portland is still ahead of LA and playing well and Dallas has been been playing well tooThe Blazers have been pretty bad. Portland has lost five in a row, and are 5-13 in their last 18 games. Dallas is 6-6 in their last 12 games. They are playing better than they were, but not as good as they should be. LA is 8-4 in their last 12, winning games that they should be winning...but struggling to finish, and they rely on Kobe way too much to carry them through OR come back (like against Charlotte). -------------- A 41-41 season to get the 8th seed? Nah. Utah is still doing okay, playing .500 ball right now, BUT they are 30-24. They have some wiggle room. Houston is playing .500 ball right about now, which is actually worse than their record shows (of course, I'm talking the last 8-10 games for them). LA will need to flip the switch quick, and beat everyone that they SHOULD beat, in order to make the playoffs. They don't necessarily need to knock off the elite, but just win most of the games that we should be able to win based on talent alone. I don't know why Dwight is playing in the All-Star Game, by the way. Kind of makes me a little upset, since he has been complaining about his shoulder quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Houston's schedule is about to get very easy, which would mean it'd take a huge collapse (similar to last year) for Houston to miss the playoffs again and I don't see it happening with Harden. So if LA is taking a playoff spot, it most likely will have to be Utah's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
