    It's not there yet, but things are getting close to critical level.

    According to Tankathon, we have the 4th toughest remaining schedule in the league. Only OKC, Minny & Denver have it tougher and OKC and Denver have a healthy buffer to drop games and adjust their seeding accordingly.

    Meanwhile, the cLips, Utah and SA have it much easier heading down the stretch.

    Well unfortunately for us, we're the ones on the receiving end of getting smashed...by the league with BI/'Do's suspensions, by sirron with Bron's groin, by Cp3s jaw with Rondo's hands and Lavar Ball's brand with Zo's ankles.

    Still despite all that...7th in defensive efficiency tho.

    #Smashbro was contingent on our playmakers carrying the offensive load as we refocused our energy on defense. Damn near all our playmakers are either out or hobbled, yet our defense remains pretty respectable.

    #SmashBros are doing work... But hopefully we can soon get healthy and get some more Ws out of it.

    I just hope Denver takes #1 seed in the West so we have a chance of advancing past the first round. My guess is we are just gonna squeeze in @ #8. Things could change a lot though with LBJ too bad Lonzo can't be a big factor (again) this year considering he will need time to acclimate himself once back.

    The only hopes are :

    - Floppers choking big time
    - Mitchell or Harden being injured for 6 weeks + or out for the season

    Also this

    So as Saturday ends we will have 27 losses , Floppers 23 or 24 losses ( if they lose at Detroit)

    Tie breaker : 2-0 lead for the Floppers , 9-2 record in the division , 6-5 for us . They have a game left against the Suns so 10-2. They will have to lose their remaining 4 games in the division and we'll have to win our remaining 5 to get the tie breaker advantage

    ......

    We are in baaaaaaaad shape right now. Really bad. Of course, we can still make it if Bron comes back and boosts our morale. Win 5-6 in a row and there you go. But it is going to be difficult, no matter what.

    but their pick is super valuable. it's worth waiting several months and foregoing solid trade offers for your disgruntled star.

    i'm told.

    We have some difficult games coming up, but with our depth improved and with Bron orchestrating things out there... we have a chance. It's not gonna be a 4th seed anymore. No way. But we can make the playoffs. 7th would be amazing. I'll take 8th too, honestly.

    The 8th seed has been the only realistic scenario for a while . I'm not sure why some ( including Lakers medias) were still talking about a 4th-5th seed a week ago. Just need to take a look at our schedule then Jazz and Spurs ones.


    The hope is Warriors don't care again after the ASG break and Nuggets finish 1st... not likely but it's possible
