A playoffs without James in it

Reality is setting in here

Better for him in the long run. 2020 is his make or break year

Irony is they gave the Clippers Zubac and he's helping them get that 8th seed.

He's going to be a FA so I understand the move long term but I felt all season he was the Lakers' best centre -those other stiffs are extremely limited in the pick & roll.

3 Quality Euro centre FAs this summer: Vucevic, JV, M.Gasol ...Lakers need to get one. Cousins is a FA too but the last thing they need is another quitter.

Only 4 games behind with 19 games left...

Clippers doing themselves no favors either making the playoffs... they would lose their pick to Boston!

Doc and players don't seem to care, they beat the Kings on Friday and now 3 games clear of them in the standings.

LA vs LA showdown on Tuesday should be interesting. Lakers may have thrown in the towel and could be very attractive odds for Clippers.

Especially if they do poorly against Knicks tomorrow, I think that's a possibility.

Clippers are playing for that 8 seed to get swept in the 1st round, Lakers next 5 is brutal:
Clippers, Nuggets, Celtics, Bulls, Raptors

Best case they go 2-3?

I expect they'll win their next 4. The Toronto game will be a loser. Rough matchup with Leonard on James. I have the Lakers losing 39 and the Clippers losing 37 ...obviously anything can happen with injuries.

Fakers not making the playoffs. 2 reasons: defense and free throws

[IBetYou]

The spread vs the Clippers is -3.5

The Clippers are on a b2b while the Lakers are coming off a b2b -Lakers likely the more tired team due to lack of depth...

Ought to be a playoff atmosphere, finally.
