When was the last time only 1 seed was guaranteed this late in the season and all the other teams were still battling for positioning?
#1 is set and I'm pretty sure #5 is set. 2,3,4,6,7,8 is a circus.

That's what Jameer said to Rose when he came up to him during his post game interview right?
It ain't like he's lying or anything.

u mad? its the got damn truth. got your boys in that thread acting like it was no big deal that they dropped games to easier opponents. matter a fact your arrogant *+$ rallied the troops.
Now their must win games are against Portland(loss), Oklahoma city, San Antonio, and Sacramento(final game in Sacramento history against their rivals).
maybe its time you get off your "@#+$ dont stink" shtick. only an arrogant fool would think its no big deal to go through 3 road series in the playoffs on your zodogg steez with your homeboy 858.
all ive heard from you is personal attacks. "what a clown"? yea nice try buddy.
you trying to dictate how fans react on a message board is old pal. let um think how they want to. if they get mad at kobe, shannon, brown, farmar, whoever....so what. we all cant be robot homer fans like you champ.
you dont like what i have to say ignore me. quit acting like a child with ur cheap "what a clown" comment.

NOW they have to win when they could have been resting the starters just to stay ahead of boston and dallas. miami already passed them. the must win games were against denver, utah, and golden state.

I'm gonna explain this to you one time, so sit down and learn something.
You sound stupid crying about games 78-79-80 etc etc etc. You call me arrogant, but that ain't it, it's smart business. We have a VETERAN team, coming into their FOURTH (hopefully) long postseason run. WHY would you go for it all in regular season games 75-82???? What on earth for? Do you even realize that this is EASILY the healthiest this team has been in the last 4 seasons? Bynum and Ariza were gone in 08. Bynum was on one leg in 09. Bynum and Kobe both were huge question marks last year. This year?
Screw all that other drivel you been spewin about homecourt this and that. Would it be great to the 1 seed? Yes. Would it be nice to win 65 games? Yes. Would it be wise to go all out game after game for 6 months AFTER 3 runs thru the finals? No, go ahead, take your time on this one, it's a toughie.........Exactly. Save some energy right? Keep some in the tank. Stay healthy.
We are not the Bulls, a bunch of kids playin balls out because A, they had a MUCH longer offseason then we did, and B, they have done NOTHING yet. They know nothing. They have no idea what's ahead. WE are a Vet team, we HAVE done it all before, we know everything that lies ahead, all we have to do is stay healthy, and play our game. PERIOD. If we don't win a championship this year, it doesn't have a @#$%^& thing to do with a loss in January, or @ Cleveland, or a 4 game losing streak in the final week. We sucked for over a month last year, and????????
Does the road get harder by having to play a series on the road? Yes. Does the road look easier by going all out for 6 months, wearing down these guys even more and trying to win for 3 more months in the playoffs with zero left in the tank? Call me crazy, but I'll take my chances winning a game on the road healthy, over tryin to protect HC with a winded dead legged group of vets that have played an extra 70+ PLAYOFF games the last 3 years.
Do you really, I mean REALLY think that Phil/Kobe/Fisher/Gasol aren't ready for what's ahead? You think Phil doesn't know how to prepare a team for a run? Really?
It's not arrogance. It's called big picture. I see it. You only see the 48 minutes in front of your face. And then try and call out Laker fans that actually do see what's going on. Every series that we play, none of the 82 will matter to them. NONE. Each series is it's own basketball. As I have pointed out several times in this thread, in all sports, the team that wins the most regular season games has not been winning it all. Some of them haven't even needed home field/court. We aren't a bunch of kids. We can win on the road. And if we can't, then we don't deserve to be champions again, not because we didn't "get up" for games in April. So quit acting like every game played is the most important. What you gonna say when those Bulls that played their hearts out today have nothing left next month and get bounced out the playoffs? You gonna come in here and tell me what a "great" game it was for them this season?

see now was that so hard to say instead of "what a clown"?
come on dude they didnt have to go all out to stay ahead of miami and boston. all they had to do was win those 3 games. two at home against lesser opponents and 1 against a non playoff team. that wasnt going to cripple them. but now they have to put forth and effort just to stay infront of boston for the remainder of this season.

Really?Have you even noticed during this 4 game stretch of bad ball we've been playing that he has kept everyone's minutes down around the 33-34 minute mark?Now tell me, why you think that is? Gee, you think all our guys will only play 33-34 minutes a game in the playoffs, or?????????

i think you're missing the point. we are the 2nd seed and ALL we needed to do was protect that. it would not have taken much effort to beat teams like Utah or Golden State
you're going to sit there and tell me we would have had to played to our maximum potential to beat those teams?
we did not have to go all out for 60 games, not even for these past few games that we have lost, but it would have been smart of us to win them to be able to rest the remainder of the season
would you be okay with the lakers dropping to the 4th seed in the west? sure we would still be capable of winning the championship, but it is just plain STUPID to have given up these past few games when we had a healthy lead over a couple of teams. it is causing ourselves unnecessary problems
if we didn't care about these games why would we have even played kobe or pau? we had healthy leads on each team early in the game, but then we just said %%!+ it and lost in the end. that is stupid.

Word?
That's why it worked out so well goin half speed huh? That's why G State went thru Dallas and Portland BEFORE knocking us off. You happen to notice their minutes that game vs ours? 45 minutes for Lee, 44 for Wright, 42 for Ellis and Curry BOTH. FOUR starters with over 40+ minutes at home, none of our guys went past 35. Ron and Pau played like 27 minutes. You wanted us to increase their minutes by 10-12 just to add one more W?
I don't think some of you get the whole 4th long postseason run upcoming aspect. In terms of toughest opponets, that might be it. Nobody has done it in 25+ years, so uh.......

i see what you're saying, but look at it this way: they still played those minutes that game, right? so why not play them at that moment in order to secure resting time for the remaining games in the season
i'm assuming that they still care about homecourt advantage (staying 2nd seed, and finishing better than boston, dallas, and miami) because of the players' frustration during the game and in the interviews after the game. also, because the way they were playing during our winning streaks showed they were aware that we could get home court throughout the playoffs
now, assuming that they care, we will have to play the starters more minutes and at a higher level against better teams in order to stay 2nd in the west.
if we had played a bit harder in the games against Golden State, and Utah, we could have completely not cared about these upcoming games and played the guys maybe 25 minutes tops and give the 2nd unit the rest of the game to improve their chemistry.
