    If we win, we finish 8th regardless of the Suns-Wolves result.
    We play the Pels if the Suns win their next game, and we play the Suns if they lose.

    Lakers actually have a chance to dodge a bullet & a shot at avoiding the 9-10 matchup & DEN in the 1st Round...
    Can't blow it against NO.

    We don't deserve the 8th spot if we can't beat the Ingram-less Pelicans, imho.

    Well, we had some luck on our side tonight. Good to see us in 8th. Get the W on Sunday.

    Wish we had Vando to stop CJ… i think he’s averaging around 7-8 3P MAKES per game last 6 games or so. Like 15 3point attempts per. Pretty ridiculous and efficient clip too.

    Trey Murphy too… averaging like 5 3PM last few games and shooting a ton of them.

    Stop both of these guys and let Zion go.

    Then I start to think we have Ham… lesigh…

    EDIT: someone said it above, OF COURSE Ingram is set to return on Sunday. Gotta love it…

    & then DEN goes & loses to SAS.. Changes potential 1st Round matchups dramatically.

    One positive is that NO is a much better road team than home team.

    Combine the way Pels are shooting the 3 with the way we are defending it , I don't expect a win at all .

    Well let's just hope they will be cold but Troy Murphy III is swishing 30+ footers

    We are so blessed lol
    Pretty straight case now. If we can't beat the Pels when we need it to survive, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs

    This is a play-in game for us
    If we can't win it, we don't deserve the playoffs, that simple.

    Denver playing chess. Beat Wolves to send them a message. Then loses to Spurs to avoid the play-in teams

    Not sure DEN is trying to avoid anyone.. Especially us.
    I'll gladly not face them in the 1st Round though... If we get there.
