Check out the the article: (Bryant, Lakers Rout Spurs, Move to No.1 Spot in the West) written by John Nadal from NBA.com who states; Should the Lakers tie for the conference lead with Houston and New Orleans, the Rockets would be first, the Hornets second and the Lakers third based on how the three teams fared against each other...

Back to the real world, If The Lakers,Hornets, and Rockets finish with identical records, this still gives the #1 seed to the Lakers, even Though The Rockets own the head to head tie-breaker between them... Reason: The Rockets would finish second to the Hornets in their own Southwest Divion, based on The Hornets(10-5)division record versus The Rockets(8-8) record...This would match the two division winners which would be the Hornets and Lakers, and since the Lakers hold the tie-breaker between them, The Lakers would be seeded #1... The Rockets record, finishing second to the Hornets, would not apply to the Lakers... Only if the Hornets were to lOSE a game and finish SECOND to the Rockets, and The Rockets win all of their games and finish as the Southwest Division Conference Champions, would their tie-breaker apply against The Lakers, Thanks JBMONEYMAN,… Back to the real world, If The Lakers,Hornets, and Rockets finish with identical records, this still gives the #1 seed to the Lakers, even Though The Rockets own the head to head tie-breaker between them… Reason: The Rockets would finish second to the Hornets in their own Southwest Divion, based on The Hornets(10-5)division record versus The Rockets(8-8) record…This would match the two division winners which would be the Hornets and Lakers, and since the Lakers hold the tie-breaker between them, The Lakers would be seeded #1… The Rockets record, finishing second to the Hornets, would not apply to the Lakers… Only if the Hornets were to lOSE a game and finish SECOND to the Rockets, and The Rockets win all of their games and finish as the Southwest Division Conference Champions, would their tie-breaker apply against The Lakers,

The Hornets hold this tiebreaker over The Spurs and The Rockets, based on the best divisional record between them for the moment... This would give the Southwest Division Title to the Hornets(10-5), second place to The Spurs(10-6), and third place to the Rockets(8-8), in the Southwest division...#3 The Lakers, who are the Pacific Division Champs, split their head to head matchups with the Hornets, but hold the tie breaker over the Hornets, based on a better conference record between them... Hence, The Pacific Divison Champion Lakers overtake the Southwest Division Champion Hornets, for the #1 seed... #1-Lakers, #2-Hornets, #3-Spurs, #4-Jazz, #5-Rockets... Note; The Rockets would still have Home-Court-Advantage over the Jazz, based on a better over-all record.

Remember the haters in the beginning of the season…

They said the Lakers might not make the playoffs
They said Kobe will be traded
They said the Lakers are below the Clippers
They said the Lakers are no longer an elite franchise
They said the Suns will win the division by landslide
They have been proven wrong on all counts!!!

Hello, Mr. Foot… Meet Mr. Mouth!!!!!

what planet do you live on? Who said this when?? You are simply nuts.

You don't have to play victim for kobe. A case can be made for CP3 for sure. The guy has had an incredible year but kobe will prevail. So you will have to give up your excuse that people "hate" kobe.

Because the Hornets have their last game at Mavs' homecourt, where they're 33-7. Also, if the Lakers win @ Staples Center with Spurs, we'll have a 1 game lead (or 1 1/2) over them, we'll be in great shape, and if the Spurs win the rest of their games, we still have our last game with the Kings at "OUR" homecourt, where I predict a 10+ point blow-out win, which will have us be in a very good position to take the #1 seed in the West, which will be 3rd best in the league behind Pistons and Celtics.

IMAGINE THIS… Let’s just imagine for the sake of argument, that The San Antonio Spurs would play and win their game with the Kings on Monday (”BEFORE”) their game with the Lakers on SUNDAY… And The Rockets beat their next opponent, The Denver Nuggets… This would create four teams with identical 55-25 records after 80 games, which would be unprecedented… Based on the different tie-breakers that apply and take precedence for all of the four teams, WHO DO YOU THINK?, would be seeded #1 thru #3 and #5 (Division winner Utah at 53-27, being locked in at #4)… Remember, the Kings and Nuggets are non divisional, conference foes to the Spurs and Rockets, respectively.

The Lakers use it, you should look into sometime. Fish is no where near level of paul or nash, but our offense isnt run like NOH or Suns, where the pg runs pick and rolls all night and pg orchestrates eveyrthing, thats why they get all the assists, the ball is in there hands 95% of the time.

i like fish but he isnt a pg guard…he plays like a shooting guard. he shoots a lot and doesnt rack up the assists like a pg is supposed to do. im guessing kobe or lamar lead the lakers in assists and they both arent the pg.
