On April 3, Beijing time, as the regular season came to an end, many teams were preparing for the final sprint. The Los Angeles Lakers, who have lost five consecutive games, are gradually moving away from the playoffs, and the situation in the playoffs has become precarious.
ESPN Media made a prediction today, analyzing the trend of Western Conference playoff competition, of which the Los Angeles Lakers have only an 11% promotion probability, which is the most undesirable team in the current competition.
In the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs, the Clippers have decided to compete in the playoffs, the Pelicans, Spurs and Lakers are competing for seats, and the Timberwolves and Nuggets at the top of the list may also fall to the playoff area.
Among them, the Lakers will most likely end the regular season in 11th place, which means that they are likely to be out early. With an 11% chance of advancing to the play-offs, in addition to ensuring that the rest of the game is fully successful, it is also up to the competitors to make mistakes, otherwise there is only a theoretical possibility.
The Nuggets, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the West, with only a 16 percent chance of falling into the playoffs. The Spurs have an 88% chance of qualifying for the playoffs, essentially taking the initiative.
The Lakers were seen as the team that competed for the Western Conference championship before the season, but now the season finale has shown a completely different situation. In order to compete for the playoffs, it has reached an extremely difficult point, which shows that the Lakers can not only be described as disappointment and regret this season, but also sad and helpless.
