Who would have thought that Lakers now have the chance to be at the 7th seed? After Kobe suffered torn Achilles and will be out for the rest of the season, the Lakers are still fighting and playing inspired basketball. They have won their last 4 games, and their latest victim was the San Antonio Spurs who are seeded #2 on the Western Conference. They did it without Kobe Bryant!
The Houston Lakers on the other hand, have the chance to be on the 6th seed, but for some reason, played really bad against the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix won 112-119. It was supposedly an easy win but the Rockets did not play their full potential. Now they are faced with the possibility of being the 8th seed if they lose their game against the Lakers later.
Here are the scenario which will affect the two teams:
HOUSTON Rockets:
HOU beat LAL + GSW loss = Houston will get 6th seed.
HOU beat LAL + GSW win = Houston will get 7th seed.
LAL beat HOU = Houston will get 8th seed.
LOS ANGELES Lakers:
MEM beat UTA = Lakers would be assured of at least 8th seed; even if the loss against Houston.
LAL beat HOU = Lakers will get 7th seed.
both LAL and UTA wins = Lakers will get 7th and Utah will still be out.
Although their final seed will also depend of the games of the other teams, I am sure they don't want to rely on the other chances. They will definitely want to win this one.
I'm hoping for the best for my team. Harden, Asik, Lin and Parsons must really play really big later if they want to lock on this one. #rednation
Keep the Faith.
