to the intent of the original thread, the Lakers series is a win-win. It's a win for hope and copers because...it should be a sure red carpet escort to the 2nd round. It's a win for doomers because Ime can't complain about injuries if he loses to this team. Losing to this Lakers team should get you fired.
Lmao, it is a loss if they don't fire him either way...... and a loss if Stone is still there, means this 1 month active 4 months absent of GM.....still continuing.
No ****, the Spurs have every reason in the world to beat the Nuggets on Sunday. They get to avoid Nuggets in the second round and let the Nuggets and OKC battle it out.
1st round Suns / whoever 2nd round Twolves Easy path to the WCF.... Thunder coming off a tough Nuggets series, with a chance of a Jokers upset Jazz messed around and won last night I don't think they would dare win another game, for their draft percentages
Nah, that would be stupid for them. They swept the wolves this year and at least would MAYBE have a punchers chance if the wolves are banged up. (Although I think Lakers are losing the first round regardless). But there’s no way they’re purposely avoiding the wolves to face a KD rockets team who quite frankly they lucked out being even while they had Luka and Austin. Lakers don’t want the Rockets.
