^ I agreed. The Rockets' remaining schedule looks pretty decent, so the playoffs spot is theirs to lose. The same cannot be said about the Jazz though. They are in a mini slump with a pretty heavy schedule coming up, while the Lakers are having a relatively soft schedule coming up. Being down by just 1.5 games behind the Jazz, the Lakers can really take over the #8 spot, as long as they don't lose any more winnable games; especially at home.

Lakers近期打到咁，入final都得啊！

The Lakers are playing so terribly of late. I can see they are playing down to the competition when they face teams like the Hornets or the Raptors. Yet, knowing they have virtually NO room for error, if they want to make the playoffs; I don't understand why except for Kobe, no other Lakers plays consistantly at a relatively high level at all.

唔知點形容湖人好
好似成日靠尾段後追,一D奇蹟三分黎贏
咁打法好唔健康
而家佢地年紀唔細,成日打得咁緊湊
小心賽程尾段無以為繼

火箭今日都打得一般般
HARDEN表現一般,
不過好在仲有一手博犯規射罰球既絕技頂住

^ the Rockets are playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so it is understandably tired.

Anyway, with the Jazz lost to the Knicks tonight, it is now ALL UP TO the Lakers to win. The next game is vs. the Bulls in LA. If the Lakers win that one, they get the #8 spot!

今日勇士,火箭,爵士都輸

^ actually all three of those teams are playing shaky lately, and thanks for the Jazz's loss; the Lakers are (for now) officially in the playoffs picture. That playoffs spot is LA's to lose, as I've mentioned above that the Jazz are having a tougher schedule coming up than the Lakers. It will be very hard for the Jazz to re-gain it, unless the Lakers start losing games.

It was a dirty play, period! Even the NBA later acknowledged it should have been at least a foul on Jones.

As for tonight's game @ Pacers.

Wow! What a game! With everything (bad officiating, being on the road, playing in the 4th game in 6 nights, no Kobe etc) against the Lakers tonight, I think I can say we earned this one for sure!

For the first time in a long time I can feel guys are happy to be playing with one another like a team tonight. Did you see how guys were congrat'ing each other, or Pau chest bumping with Howard toward the end? We didn't see much of that before tonight, even when we won a game! Great chemistry!

火箭對木狼落後20分都可以逆轉,有D運

As much as I don't like Mikey D as coach, I think I pretty much agreed with him completely there:

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/n ... -washington-wizards

"This is a good team that just for whatever reason can't collectively mentally get stimulated to [play hard] every time," D'Antoni said after the Lakers wasted an 18-point first-half lead. "I told them today, we put our hands in [the huddle], and you guys have probably seen it, we say, 'Championship,' and go out [on the floor]. That's laughable. Championship? You got to be kidding me. Nobody understands the importance of every possession offensively and defensively. Every time they got to come out with some kind of determination to be a good basketball team, and [until] then, we're just, we're fooling ourselves. Right now, that's what we're doing. We're just making a 'sham-mockery' out of it."

火箭贏到馬刺,狀態唔錯加有D運

HighlanderZ

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see the Rockets beating the Spurs the other night.

Meanwhile, the Lakers are playing like they don't want to make the playoffs at all lately. What is up with that?

Was Kobe hogging the ball? Yes and no. The problem is no one else stepped up at all, and he kind of have to do it all by himself a bit. Sadly, with this current team, once he start taking a lot of shots; there will tend to be little ball movement. That's bad news for the Lakers. That 4th qtr vs Wizards was a great example of that.

I think the Lakers should still make the playoffs, unless they keep screwing these winnable games up; but they really won't go far no matter who they face.

HighlanderZ

Pau's conditioning is still off and needs some works, and tonight (@ Bucks) Nash pulled his right hamstring, and back. I think at this point Lakers fans can only wish our players finish the season in one piece.
