    I feel like we need to continue winning 2/3rds of our games from here out. 6 wins out of the last nine should at least cement the playin and it might be a decent spot like 8th. We’ve been playing.700 ball for the last ten so I think we can keep doing that. Only one more back to back and the second night is the Clips without PG and probably us WITH AD this time it sounds like.

    Yeah, I think the mark has to be 6 more wins, no less. If the rest of the teams in the mix will cooperate a little too, that would be great.

    Half game back of Warriors andn 1 game back of Clippers for the FIFTH seed would be amazing. Not to mention all the losing happening for PHX with one of the toughest schedules remaining...anything is possible here gents. Just makes me so mad that we sat AD against HOU and then lost to DAL on a f***ing buzzer beater. We'd already be TIED for 5th!!!!

    Mannnn I haven't been to this forum in YEARS...glad to see it's still here. Club Lakers was elite lol. Scrolling through & saw a lot of familiar users. Anyway...Lakers will make the playoffs imo. That OKC game will be HUGE tomorrow. Love to everyone in here.

    The Clippers for once are doing us a favor...and Kawhi is absolutely cookin.

    This is where the CLippers depth really helps them...when someoen gets injured, it ends up being a good thign because now Lue doesn't have to guess who to play.

    Bones Hyland has played very well for them tonight.

    Thank you Cilppers for once doing us a favor - we'll need one more from them against the Pels this weekend.

    This is how big tonight's games are:

    If Lakers win and Mavs lose, Lakers move up to 8th. (And if Warriors lose, Lakers are 1 win (1/2 game) out of 6th.)

    But if Lakers lose and Jazz win, then Lakers move out of the play in, down to 11th. (And then down to 12th if Pelicans win their next game.)

    Tonight is the night, mother of all must win games. We had these before but we lose, we can kiss the season goodbye.

    We can really put ourselves in the drivers seat with a win tonight. We've got some momentum going and have played pretty well overall despite some of the losses. If we show up and play with intensity then we win tonight IMO.

    Us winning this is a must. No ifs, ands or buts.

    Hornets have an empty bench and injuries galore, they're not beating Dallas.

    Bucks should beat Jazz.

    Philly vs. GS should be a good one. Hopefully Embiid dominates.

    Don't see Boston dropping to Indy either.

    Realistically, only 3 wins are on the table tonight: us and by default, that's a OKC loss. Then Utah dropping to the Deer.

    I feel pretty confident about us beating OKC and the Bucks beating Jazz. Should be a good day for us, but we need to start the game well and keep AD engaged from the get go.

    No excuses with the game tonight: yeah no Lebron but this is a b2b for OKC. Sure they rested some folks last night in the 4th due to the blowout but the Lakers have had rest and it's at home.

    Really they don't deserve to be in the playoffs if they can't win this one
