Aloha,
Great Laker day. We picked up a game on both the Clippers and the Mav’s who lost. We also picked up a game on the Grizzlies who also lost. We are now only one out in the loss column from the 2nd seed. If OKC beat the TWolves we will gain another game on them. So far, so good.
Great news, Michael. The other thing that I think Luka has totally changed is the feeling that the only team the Lakers had to fear was the Nuggets. I think the shoe is on the other foot right now. Nugget going to try and avoid Lakers.
I’m no longer worried about where we end up in the standings versus Denver. I just want the #2 seed for home court advantage and I think we can get there.
The Nuggets game was more than just a game changer between Denver and Los Angeles. It was a wake up call because JJ and the Lakers showed everybody that the Luka & LeBron Lakers were going to be a major problem for everybody.
Can’t wait for next week’s power rankings. Slowly but surely, the rest of the NBA is waking up to the prospect that the Lakers might go into the playoffs as one of the league favorites.
