Are the Lakers Contenders for the No. 9 Seed?For the past several months, the Los Angeles Lakers have languished in the Western Conference’s ninth spot. The squad remained mired in ninth place even after falling below.500 in late December. The Lakers haven’t been able to get past ninth place after playing hard for two months to improve their record to 43-33.
Every Western Conference playoff club has become into a machine, rarely losing a game. With the Rockets in position to become the first club in NBA history to finish as the No. 11 seed yet have a winning record, this Western Conference might be the most difficult we’ve ever seen. The fate of the Lakers is entirely dependent on the success or failure of the teams surrounding them.
The Lakers trail the Sacramento Kings by a single game and the No. 7 seed Phoenix Suns by 1.5 games. With a current deficit of 2.5 games, the Lakers’ chances of passing the Pelicans for sixth place are diminishing. If certain clubs begin to lose games, the little gaps open the door to a lot of adjustments.
