Lakers have really come out to play so far. Not too often OKC gives up 42 points in the 1st quarter. EDIT: Lakers are officially beating the snot out of OKC. It's now 49-32. Lakers are 8/10 from long range. Most of the shots are wide open. Where is the Thunder's defense? EDIT2: Now 55-35
Yea. I keep changing my mind. I’d like Lakers and Warriors to be 4-5, but also I’d mainly prefer to avoid warriors in the 2nd round (IF we make it that far of course lol) but I guess if Lakers are 3rd at least it means Warriors will likely have to play OKC in the second round. I’d rather play the Lakers in second round than Warriors.
OKC coasting? 4 minutes to go . . . . a 25 pt lead is not safe? Doncic and LeBron still in? Rocket River
The gap between 3rd spot and 8th spot is only 2 games. We could play anyone besides OKC in 1st round..
The gap between 4th and 8th is 1/2 game. With 30 losses, may as well consider the Lakers as the 3rd seed.

Houston Rockets: Collin Murray-Boyles, PF/C, South Carolina | Sophomore | TS%: 64.0% Despite a challenging campaign that left South Carolina with a 2-16 record in SEC play, it's hard to fault Murray-Boyles, given his consistent effort and production. His draft stock held steady in the mid-first round, with a chance for him to wind up in the lottery depending on what teams prioritize. Though undersized (6-foot-8 and 245 pounds) for his position, Murray-Boyles' mix of offensive feel, defensive playmaking, physicality and toughness endears him to NBA teams that can picture him scaling down into a supporting role. The predraft process will allow him to demonstrate room for growth as a jump shooter, something that will be essential to maximizing his value in the pros. His intangibles and potential versatility could make him a strong fit with the Rockets, who could use another big to help do the dirty work. -- Woo 59.

The current Standings OKC Rockets Lakers Nuggets Clippers Warriors Wolves / Grizzlies Kings/ Mavs OKC would play the weakest of those 4 (I'd suspect Grizzlies) Rockets would play the strongest of those 4 (I'd suspect the Wolves) I think I'd like the Grizzlies more than anyone I'd also like Nuggets/Clippers Lakers/Warriors More than anything this is why i favor the current standards Rocket River
Clippers losses to us and GSW. Minny beats Mem finishes 4-0. Passes both Clippers and Memphis. So we will most likely face Clippers or Memphis. My bet is on Clippers.
It looks like Lakers are resting most of their starters tonight against OKC in preparation for tomorrow's game at Dallas aka Luka's comeback. We should clinch the 2nd seed tonight if OKC can take care of business.
