    Looking at the standings seems like one of these two will be the first round opponent

    lakers obviously coming with many health questions

    This will be interesting. I think Mini was hoping to face the Lakers. Denver will probably move up to 3rd, Mini stays at 6 and Lakers / Rockets battle for 4th and 5th.

    That would be Minnesota times 1,000,000.

    Alternatively, LeBron at age 41 could the next one to break down. You never know!

    I'm assuming the worst and expecting we're going to get Denver at this point, because that's just our luck, y'know?

    When both Luka and Reaves go down, I don't care if it's 5v8, like it always is against the Fakers, you take those odds.

    Well, they lost their starting PG. We did too, plus our most impactful player :).

    Nah, unless we have more crazy injuries,
    lakers without Luka and Reeves are not beating us. Honestly I think we take them even with Luka and Austin.

    Rockets aren’t beating Denver.

    Rockets have a GOLDEN opportunity to actually win a playoff series against the Lakers without Doncic and Reeves. Talk about luck.

    he did last time we played them. He literally sucked the blood from our youngsters and then flew around the court scoring at will.

    Lakers will drop without Luka. Best case scenario is they fall to 6 and we pass Denver for 3.

    They are thinking about round 2 where they probably would rather face the Spurs who they just beat than OKC
