Keep in mind Jamal we have a lot of unregistered guests view these pages and even spider-bots that add to the views.

This team will either be an 8 seed or a 55+ win team. The talent is there but...

Ha ha, that didn't take long!

58 to 55+/8th seed, can you start to marginalize your choice more?

**Jace** · 12-10-2012, 01:07 AM

Ron's prediction might seem on the pessimistic side, but while you expect them to improve drastically over the final 75% of the season, twice as many losses in that span as they had in the first 25% seems reasonable. That would put them in a tie for the 7th/8th seed in 2011, and out of the playoffs the two previous seasons (that's as far back as I bothered to look), which just doesn't sit right for me. It's hard for me to even see them in danger of missing the playoffs in March/April, but the West is super-competitive this year. I can't see them not getting to 50 wins, ultimately.

Is this you admitting you made a horrible prediction when you said they would lose in the second round?

**Ballscientist** · 12-10-2012, 01:42 PM

Predictions: 47-35, 7th seed

So far, Lakers are on the pace to win the record 35-47

Where do you think We Warriors will finish? Could it be possible that the Lakers will finish 3rd in California for only the third time (94 and 2005) in the history?

**Cinco de Mayo** · 12-10-2012, 02:09 PM

9-73

**Floods** · 12-10-2012, 02:28 PM

Lakers will be either fifth or sixth seed

**Jace** · 12-15-2012, 10:27 PM

With 44 wins? That's not very Western Conference-like. Usually you need at least 50 to make the postseason.

**Luke** · 12-15-2012, 10:48 PM

We'll win at least 50.
