Reminds of the 1989 Finals, when Scott got injured in game 1 and Magic in game 2. The rest of the team really did not make it easy for Detroit even though we still got swept.

Well, that's about it.

Going to get my hot chocolate, sit back, relax, and enjoy another raging rant from Big Game James.

(Actually, he may take it easy on them tonight, considering they were playing without their entire big front court.)

48 games left...and this team likely needs to win 35 games in order to squeak into the playoffs. That means Lakers need to win 73% of the remaining games.

This season is over.

I think you have an odd definition of "likely". Only once has the 8th seed in the west won more than 48 games.

Nice side step by Metta.

Cajon · 01-08-2013, 07:18 PM

Game over. Rest Nash, Kobe and Metta.

Ok, 33 games. Still most likely need to be above a 67% win ratio.

The remaining schedule isn't that bad but the margin of error is too small.

My guess in that prediction thread was 46-36, now I am not sure they will even get there.

I wouldn't mind the losing season so much if we still had our draft pick. The loss of a lottery pick is going to be a killer.

i am hoping for MR Pringles resignation tomorrow

Isn't the upcoming draft class weak? I don't follow college ball so is there any truth to that?

MojoPin · 01-08-2013, 07:43 PM

It's weak in that there probably isn't going to be a dominant all star, but its full of pretty solid role players.
