Over the last 15 games the LA Clippers rank?

* 1st in DRTG
* 5th in ORTG
* 2nd in NET RTG
* 3rd in DREB%
* 10th in TOV%
* 1st in TS%

Peaking at the right time.

Not our problem...

So glad the West has many threats amongst themselves.

The East, on the other hand, aside from Cleveland and Indy we should be fine.

Lakers taking OKC to the woodshed right now.  In OKC too.

OKC folding. Lakers exploiting them

It?s not like OKC has nothing to play for, either. Cavs could still catch them for best record in the league. I?m still not sold on Jalen Williams as a legitimate number two option. He had 16pts today.

The league taking notice after Lakers curb stomped the Thunder in Oklahoma. Just as I initially anticipated with them in a playoff matchup...the Lakers have their number.

[Lakers are the Best]

It will be more impressive if the Lakers can beat them 2 times in a row in their game in LA on Tuesday. I expect the Thunder to be out for revenge in that one.

OKC and Cleveland especially faltering a bit down the stretch run of the season here. Cleveland about to lose at home against Sacramento despite being fully healthy.

Wouldn't overreact to the OKC game just yet.  Generally, if the other team shoots 55% from three on reasonably high volume then you're hosed.  Think it was just one of those games... like G2 in the first round against Miami last season.

Very glad that the C?s play in the East tbh way more tougher battles out West.

OKC lost in the second round of the playoffs last year(4-2). Wouldn?t at all be surprised if that happened again this season.

The one who stopped OKC? Luka. Luka the Thunder-killer, Clipper-killer, Suns-killer, Wolves-killer, Nuggets-killer.

And they got LeBron the Warrior-killer altho more in part when AD was still there, but, he also beat them in 2016 and some other meetings in the past.

Memphis is a joke and the Rockets ehhh Luka has seen them a lot in his career so maybe he's a Rocket-killer too.

Perhaps the only team that can stop the Lakers are some of the Eastern Conference teams like the Cavs, Bucks, and the Celtics

I would love to get these Lakers in the finals.  Revenge for 2010.

I get that, but I don?t want LA within 100 miles of the Finals where an injury could result in them hoisting their 18th banner.  They could add this gift from Dallas to their absurd bubble win and the 5 pre-LA championships. As satisfying as it would be to beat LA I don?t want them anywhere near the Finals.

[Birdman]

Lakers won?t get past warriors in first round if they meet
