LeNotes:
4/8 @ Thunder (L)
Chalk this one up to ‘can’t win em all.’ A split on the road against the 1 seed is fine, even with the razor thin seeding margins out west.
4/9 @ Mavs (W)
LOLOL LUKA HAD 31 IN THE FIRST HALF. FIRE NICO CHANTS RAINED FROM THE RAFTERS. LEBRON STUFFED THE MAVS IN A LOCKER TO CLOSE IT OUT.
In what was, is, and will remain the official position of this column: Get fucked, Nico.
4/11 vs. Rockets (W)
Big fat win to lock in the 3 seed against a team with no incentive to try.1 We take those! Only 22 minutes for Bron, some good extra rest before (presumably) sitting out vs. Portland and waiting for the Play-In to shake out.
4/13 @ Blazers (L)
Lakers came in with the 3 seed in hand and as Pacific Division Champions.2 They sat E V E R Y O N E, just look at the box score:
50-32. Home court against the Wolves in the 1st round. Houston in the 2nd round if everyone takes care of business.
The fuckery continues.3

Zero Dark Thirty-23 Mode is about to commence.
