Didn't we beat them twice already? Or did we lose one?

EDIT: I went and checked the schedule. We beat them twice at home. Both our remaining games with them are on the road.

Including the Lakers feels a bit arbitrary, since they are barely above.500 and I think we still have 3 games against the Suns .

We play the Suns on the 5th and 14th of April. Mercifully neither is a back to back (on either end.) In reality, unless the game effects seeding, I don’t expect us to use the starters that much (or at all,) on the 14th of April as that is the last game of the regular season.

We did but I know a lot of people think they are going to amazing in the playoffs all the sudden and a lot of people think they will beat us in a series.

A few things I was pondering after this game:

-Grant seems to be a flopper extraordinaire
-We have a few guys who could potentially hit the 50/40/90 mark
-Agree that Nix might have some potential (might be fun seeing him develop with Miller)

If that's the case us beating them convincingly the next two games won't put that notion to bed. According to them the Lakers will rise in the playoffs and we will choke.
