Lakers were really unexpected this year. I think that they can go to playoffs even if the West coast has big teams because they rotate a lot and that looks actually really good. The way they play is good and the fans love this way! I hope they will gi to playoffs, they deserve it. 
I bet it that they can be able to get into the semi's or even to the finals I wish to watch them again playing for the finals.
And if that happens then I will bet as high as I can because I am a fan of Clarkson and I love to see him playing for each team.
I have trust with this team.
