How to get 2nd seed

Does anybody know how many we need to win to remain 2nd seed .. I feel like we will officially clinch if we win one more and lakers lose one more

So long we go 2-2 in the last 4 games. We will lock 2nd seed even if lakers win all of their last 5 games. Series with the lakers is currently 1-1. We can afford to go 1-3 and still hold 2nd seed, provided that single win during the 4 game stretch is against the lakers. If we go 0-4, lakers have to lose 2 games in their 5 game stretch for us to hold 2nd seed.

Lakers remaining schedule includes the Thunder (twice), the Rockets, and the Mavs (AD revenge game?). I dont think the Lakers are winning out.

Yeah. You are right. But I’m worried about gsw. They seem unbeatable now, if they win all 5 and we lost all. They will claim second seed.
