Weak Lakers is still hot,The other team escape Lakers

This time last year, the Lakers are formidable run over all the teams as the playoffs move into the end they became champions. Los Angeles would like to renew old Angel City, but now just is not long, weak Lakers watched their set goals before the season, one after the destruction of opponents. In the United States the right of the major authoritative media standings, they have even dropped out of the top sixth.

Do not be fooled by these surfaces, and often took place under such illusion. Now the fact is, Portland, San Antonio and Thunder (three record 40 wins with 38 negative, and the western fifth of the difference of 2.5 wins jazz, western eighth will certainly produce them) are hard to avoid the Lakers, None of them who are willing to visit in the first round of the playoffs angel city.

Portland is the least memory among the three people fear the Lakers team, count on January 9 this season against the Lakers win, they realized the myth of the Lakers at home nine wins (this beautiful story in the Feb. 7 had by Bryant put a stop). Portland is the bane of the Lakers? Perhaps the regular season, but playoffs not possible that people themselves do not deny that even Portland.

Portland, as the Spurs want to avoid heart is definitely worse than the Lakers. On the record between the Lakers and Spurs 2 wins 2 losses this season, including 5 April of that field of victory of 19 points. But even so, proud of San Antonio to talk about the playoffs in the first round rivals, the Lakers are reluctant to put their opposite.

In order to avoid the Lakers in the first round, on the Trail Blazers, San Antonio and Thunder, the only thing they can do is desperate for a stroke. Now three teams have four games left. Among them, the pioneers of the game the most difficult opponents are the Mavericks, Lakers, Thunder, and Warriors. Thunder the most relaxed, Warriors, Grizzlies have been no pursuit, fighting the sun can take home a victory. Spurs will have to, and Grizzlies, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Mavericks against. In this respect, the competition between the Thunder and Portland will most likely determine the final ranking, while the game has ended, Thunder 1 to 2 behind.
