On top of that performance they're also getting so many wins recently climbing their way back up to top 10 and if they keep this up they should qualify for the play ins at the very minimum.

Rollercoaster of a game, trailing double digits at one point and forcing OT then trailed again at the first few minutes but still clutched it out in the last minute or so. I had a bet on them and quickly counted them out after the lead grew to double digits then came back and saw OT was about to start.  

Warriors with amazing Stephen Curry are going crazy, they keep winning and I don't see they will stop any time soon!

Nah, not that easy, he is on and off in basketball, he might not be as confident as he was before he was injured, and we also have to pay attention to the risk of re-injuring himself again. Lakers has really dropped, they need a win of course but I don't really mind if they will rank 7 or 8, as long as they make it to the playoffs, as they still have a good chance of upsetting a higher ranking team.

The Lakers will undoubtedly go to that new "play-in tournament" which Lebron Hates the most. He wants to fire whoever invented that kind of innovation in the NBA. As you can see, they are struggling too much this few games away from the NBA playoffs. the next games will be a real battle for them. Guess that their plan to make AD and Lebron in the late games of the tournament was not successful since they are having some hard time adjusting back to the games that's why they keep losing these few games left.

Because it means more games for them, that's why he hates it. And as you have said, they are struggling so this is going to give them more problems later. Their schedule is bad as well going into the closing of the regular season. They have to face tougher opponents.

Maybe they can win agains the Rockets, but Pacers and Pelicans are dangerous teams right now.

Miami Heat are crushing the Boston Celtics on ESPN right now. They have a near 100% chance to win before halftime! Looks like they might score over 150 points at this pace. Fair to say they’ll cover the over. As a team they’re shooting 55% from the three point line so far. Just one of those days you want to get over with for the Celtics I guess.

I think it is about seed this year and not how close isn't it? Maybe I know wrong but the teams at 7th and 8th seed will play for 7th seed and winner of 9th and 10th will play for a chance of 8th, then loser of 7th and 8th game will play the winner of 9th and 10th and the winner of that will become 8th seed. That is what I know will happen on both, so no matter how close it is, 11th is out for sure in both cases, and no matter how further away the 10th will have a chance. That is what I got from the FAQ of NBA website but that is what I understood, maybe I am wrong.

At the end of the day whoever bets on Lakers not being in the playoffs this year and losing during the play in tournament will be very mistaken, they are a very good team and they will most definitely end up winning for sure. They will have Lebron back and AD healthy by that time for sure.

The Lakers have a game today.

They are up against the Phoenix Suns, and they are +7.5.
will the lakers pull an upset today? they need a win and this win will be big if they can do it.
I believe they still have Davis in this game, so probably they have a chance to win.

What are your thoughts guys?

Well we say in his past interviews that he wanted to go to Portland because that's his hometown.

And we wanted to play along side Lillard, so we will have to see about that.
