The Lakers Playoff Hopes

The Lakers are no doubt in a fight to make the playoffs. There record sits today at 23-27. I put believe they need to finish at about two games above .500 hundred to make at least the 8 seed. I haven't gone threw and figured it out. I think it would be best just to go game by game and see where we end up. Bobcats Even on the end of a back to back the Lakers have enough to win. 24-27 The Heat The heat have some flu struck stars, but they recover in time and trounce the Lakers 24-28 The Suns The Lakers get revenge. 25-28 The Clippers Would see like an easy loss for the Lake show, but the Clips are off form, but still have enough. 25-29 The Celtics First game after the break. A little bit of revenge in the air. The Celtics start missing Rondo 26-29 Trailblazers The Lakers have tended to lose this game all year. After the big revenge win the let down win. 26-30 Dallas This game will come down to health, but the Mavs are in just as bad a form and the Lakers get the win. 27-30 Nuggets Back to back on the road against a deep team. Sorry Kobe. 27-31 T-wolves Unless Kevin Love comes out of retirement 28-31 Atlanta Really Tough one, but I take the home team. 29-31 OKC This will be ugly. The Lakers will wish they could just forfeit. 29-32 Hornets Played the Lakers well last time out. After the grueling game the night before. 29-33 Raptors Toronto is suddenly better, but I'm not buying just yet. 30-33 Bulls Toss up. With D Rose at 50% I think the Bulls have the advantage. 30-34 Magic Easy Win on the road 31-34 Hawks Back to back on the road. 31-35 Pacers Ouch 31-36 First time they are five games under in a while. Kings Home sweet home 32-36 Suns Kind of a trap game on the road back to back. 32-37 The Wiz Well rested and at home 33-37 Warriors Brutal game. Gotta favor the home team. 33-38 T-Wolves At this point they have to be thanking their lucky stars Kevin Love is hurt. 34-38 Bucks Could be a tough game, but I see them getting it. 35-38 Kings Big playoff push is on. 36-38 Mavs The Lakers are media darlings again. 37-38 Griz Pivotal game for both teams. Have to figure Memphis is ready though. 37-39 Clippers The Lakers are the Clippers bitch this season. 37-40 Hornets Big Win 38-40 Warriors Bigger win at home 39-40 Spurs Now they will be wishing Pop rests his starters, but I would not want to have to face Kobe in the playoffs. 39-41 Rockets This game could really mean something. When in doubt take the home team 40-41 OK so I messed up somewhere. 41-41. The Lakers miss the playoffs. I felt I was pretty generous. With their lack of depth and injury woes the season could come unhinged completely and the Lakers could be out of it before we even know it. Kobe was having some elbow issues. Kobe is nearly ever really hurt. I wouldn't have put it past him to do make Howard feel bad not playing hurt. The Laker season has been one of great pain. I don't see it ending in the Playoffs.
