It was almost a formality when arriving in Orlando, it is now official, the Los Angeles Lakers will finish first in the Western Conference following their success against Jazz. They have a 51-15 record and the Clippers, second, can no longer catch them. It had been a long time since it happened to purple and gold. Performance that delights LeBron James, who sent a little message to his detractors
“Since 2010 is that it? They said I couldn’t do it. I’ll savor it. They said I couldn’t do it. I can only say that it is really the footing to be seeded number 1 in the West. For me personally. ” James
Spurred on by a great Anthony Davis, they dominated the Jazz 116-108 and now they will wait, probably until the end, probably after a jump-off, which will be their next opponent. The Grizzlies, Pelicans, Blazers, Spurs, Kings, and even Suns are fighting for the right to face the Lakers in the first round, and very smart who can say who will be the lucky winner. The King is following this closely.
“I think it’s absolutely inhumane not to really pay attention to the standings, especially at this point in the season. You watch Memphis, the Pelicans, San Antonio and Portland. And I’m not eliminating Phoenix either. You watch the classification matches and you observe to see what our matchup could be. ” James
Just before the games resumed, Danny Green confided that the Lakers preferred to avoid the Blazers if they could choose.
