30 left. All Star Weekend has come and gone. Everyone's games matter the rest of the way. Here's the next 5 According to tankathon we have the 6th toughest schedule left But Grizz and Denver have a tougher road to the finish line. We're currently .5 game back from 4th 2.5 from 3rd 3 from 2nd 1st - not happening Best case is we push up to 2nd, then OKC will have to face Denver, and we'd only have to face one of them. Regardless, we need to secure HCA at least for round one. Bron isn't going to know what to do with himself not having to fight, scratch and claw just to get in to the play in this year.
a serious team wins at least three of these, if not four. and denver still scares me more than okc, tbh. maybe i choke on these words, but sga just isn't jokic at all, imo. and you can get okc out of their game in the playoffs, historically.
4-1 or 5-0 They're going to load manage Doncic or both LeBron and Luka tomorrow and they could lose to Portland who were on big winning streak before All Star weekend. Dallas just don't have any body left Max and Kyrie still not enough.Minnesota and Denver would be easy blowout wins
4-1 is everyone is healthy and we continue to build chemistry. I'd love to say 5-0, but I can't see that happening. They are some tough games in there, and if we win those, there are some "easy" trap games that we can lose.
I don't trust non-injury adjusted SOS with the Lakers at all and even if injury adjusted still don't trust it. The number of times we've seen players come back like the WWE meme from being in a wheelchair to play the Lakers is ridiculous. Even the crap teams get up to the play the Lakers because Lebron and no Lebron/Luka are in the house. You know they aren't buying tickets to have the family watch OKC come into town but the Lakers hell yeah. Lebron gets this: https://www.tiktok.com/@bleacherreport/video/7456808414283435294
What an unserious team. After you get shellacked by Utah, this is how you come out at home. Some of the rust and offensive misses were fine (lasted all game though), but stupid defense, unnecessary doubles, and zero attention to detail, and carelessness did them in. No chance Luka wants to stay with this s*** team. Looking at the 5 game schedule… any realistic fan knows there will be a minimum of 2 losses for the portland, nuggets, mavs, twolves. I expect tomorrow to be close, but I’ll bank on JJ grilling them for a win tomorrow. Nuggets PWNNNNNN us, auto loss. They’re probably laughing at this crap show. Mavs i truly think will beat us by 30, Davis or not. Twolves have way too much length, and who exactly is stopping Edwards?
that loss is going to come back to bite them in the a** wouldn't be surprised if they fall into the play in given those tough march b2bs
It wouldn't shock me if we lose to Denver by 20, it also wouldn't shock me if Luka looks more like himself and we beat them by 20. We just have no idea when Luka is going to round into form and things are going to start clicking. We should probably give up hopes of getting all the way up to the #2 seed, though. I'll be satisfied just staying out of the play-in.
they clearly planned to win the charlotte game and probably lose to portland. i would have done the same, but it backfired big-time.
