    @jdubb2584

     So you want AD and LeBron to play an extra game? 

    Success is never final, failure is never fatal, and it's the courage that counts.

    @Brooklyncapper is right.

    if LAL win tonight, they are in the playoffs as the #7 seed, if they lose, they will have to play an extra game against the winner of the 9 v 10 game.

    The goal is to make playoffs. If they’re deciding to lose today and then they lose tomorrow which is def a possibility, then what? You make zero sense and can tell you’ve never even played a game of AAU ball. You just a sport watcher.

    @UnrankedChamp

     looks like @jdubb2584 idiotic conspicacy theory of the LAL throwiing the game to get a better first round matchup was just that, idiotic

    Teams don't play 82 games, to lose a play-in tournament game on purpose  and risk their entire season.

    @smellieflower

     of course I waited until the end of the game. You got to see for 48 minutes, that the Lakers were not intentionally tanking, which was the claim of the OP.

    I'm in the camp that no team is dumb enough to lose a single-elimination game on purpose in order to "get a better matchup" in the actual playoffs.

    They'd be risking getting knocked out entirely.  If teams are in the play-in, they're going to play to win the #7 seed no matter what cause then you get some breathing room with a 7 game series after that.

    @UnrankedChamp

     What does playing AAU have to do with anything? OP is wrong but now you are bordering on his aptitude level.  You never played in the NBA, so I can tell you don't know anything and are just a sport watcher. confused Society has no common sense these days.

     Wow, really ?

    if they were tanking the game, they would not have won.

    Conspiracy clowns refusing to believe what they just saw.  Laughable.

    You and the OP both called the LAL to throw the game. They didn't throw the game, they WON the game, yet you still don't realize you were wrong. 

    It's over. no conspiracy. you lose.

    moving on.
