And yet the schedule only keeps getting easier for them.- Lakers are the worst 19-10 team in recent memory. Total fugazi. (-0.5 net rating)
10-0 in clutch games. That's bound to turn, right? I think Wolves, despite their PG issues, are better than them still.. After Spurs-Suns (2-7) matchup, my next preferred playoffs 1st round would be Spurs-Lakers (3-6). I don't think Luka-AR whistle is going to be enough for them to overcome their defensive deficiencies. (Also, summer PR aside, Doncic looks older, slower and more beaten down than a typical 26-yo superstar at his physical and athletic peak)..
We don't match up well with Phoenix. I think we can run GSW in a series, but need to figure the Suns out.- Denver play their next 7 games on the road (@Magic, @Heat, @Raptors, @Cavs, @Nets, @Sixers, @Celtics)..Should pick up few Ls while still shorthanded (Gordon might be back for last two). Spurs could open a 3-game lead on them after this stretch.
- I prefer facing Suns over Warriors in potential 2-7 seed match-up. Golden State can still out-veteran us.
- Lakers are the worst 19-10 team in recent memory. Total fugazi. (-0.5 net rating

I could totally see the Lakers falling to 7th when this is all said and done. I think Phoenix is on the rise.- Denver play their next 7 games on the road (@Magic, @Heat, @Raptors, @Cavs, @Nets, @Sixers, @Celtics)..Should pick up few Ls while still shorthanded (Gordon might be back for last two).

I’d rather take OKC than that monster Jokic tbh
I seriously doubt he doesn’t want to contend with Wemby and possibly win a ring, while waiting to eventually start when his time comes. I seriously doubt that
Doubt away, but that was the grapevine, pre-draft. He wanted Sacramento. Maybe he has a girlfriend there. Or a boyfriend. Or maybe he likes cow towns.
They can add another vet C as insurance maybe at the waiver, but the priority next draft has got to be a project big to eventually replace Kornet.
. Took the $50M sat out for the first 20 games with sciatica and now has destroyed their chemistry and defense since coming back. Also forced Reaves to carry extra load while he was out.
134.0 DRtg holy shit.Look at those Luka-LeBron numbers
Zero chance they let them miss the playoffs in Lebron's (probable) last season tbh. They'll end up with Giannis if the Knicks/Thunder don't.
Bron isn’t retiring without a farewell tour tbh. It’s gonna be hilarious to see how that plays out in the summer with him and the Lakers. They badly want him to walk away but they have to save face by not saying it tbh.
His farewell tour will be on the spurs on a 2 for 60 to 70
Fuck that tbh
