Whenever they start getting close, they blow an easy game and lose.
Its basically a 3 way race between Dallas, LA and Utah.

If the Jazz had any pulse the last ten games where they've fallen apart the Lakers would be in huge trouble... But the bottom of the West sucks so I bet the Lakers squeeze in by a game or two.
Maybe! But I think Dallas may have a better chance.
Im just hoping the Lakers can lose more and Utah, Dallas, Portland can win.

The Jazz can stay alive if they do well today and tomorrow - they visit the Mavs today and host the 76ers tomorrow. Both games should be winnable but they've fumbled away better opportunities of late. If GS whups the Lakers tomorrow at GS and Utah wins both they'll be even - Jazz have the tie breaker so they'd be back in the 8th slot.
After that they both have 11 games with roughly comparable opponents. The Lakers only have two real 'gimmies' - Dallas and NO at home. They play Minnie, Milw, Sac and Portland on the road and all of them have put together good games recently. The remaining five are teams with better records in LA. Utah has slightly tougher opponents but 7 home games. I expect whichever one can squeak out 7-4 will get the eighth spot.

Its about how bad Utah is. All they had to do was play around .500 ball and the Lakers would have been in trouble.

Dallas is showing some crazy potential. If the Lakers lose tomorrow to GS, the Mavs are only gonna be behind by 1 game in the loss column to the Lakers...

problem is they have a really tough schedule ahead of them. they really put themselves behind the eight ball when they lost that Sunday home game against the Lakers two weeks ago. they win that game and they're tied right now with the tie-breaker.

Down 24 at the half Lakers shoot 21 FT in the 3rd quarter vs the Warriors...
Its really hard to take this league seriously sometimes.

it's amazing to me the way teams try to just blow huge leads against the Lakers. The Warriors did their very best to do it tonight, but the Lakers dug too deep a hole... thank God.
this last ten games going for that #8 seed is going to be wild.

Sounds fine with me. Keep in mind though that our motto here at ASFN is to bow before no man.
