Let's talk about the rest of the league. We're in agreement, so I have nothing else to add there, and I've already talked about it a lot here. So we look at OKC. I think, and I've mentioned this a few times, like in the summer, you're going, OK, well, if Dallas is back, and I'm with you, I thought the roster was even better this year than the finals team last year. You always...

include denver in the conversation i think most of us thought minnesota would have a chance here that hasn't been as good they were terrible the other night i know they're missing some bodies against cleveland but like they started one of 20 in that game um maybe it's just the first quarter whatever but like there's just it's okay see and then trying to figure out everyone else and denver has has figured some things out here as well there was a nice defensive stretch in there now it's been back more to the offense actually having murray look like this is important

I also think when Aaron Gordon misses that many games, you're looking at the numbers, looking at the standing and going like, okay, but there's just certain teams where I go, I don't really know if I care about what the numbers tell me right now. So if you're looking at the West outside of OKC, who do you think is the biggest threat to them?

And so you're not being around. I think some of those late possessions too, which shows you can just see, even if no question, right.

Yeah, there'll be a big matchup there because you look at it today, Lakers are the four seed and this is without the Luka part of it. And we saw some of that on Monday. They're just going, look, we're just going to downsize this thing. We're not going to care if Utah is going to play Kessler. I mean, Utah is completely outmatched. They're not a very good team right now.

So that's probably not the best game to be like, hey, this is what the Lakers are going to do the rest of the time. But you could see even with Len, because it's kind of a desperate acquisition after the Mark Williams trade gets rescinded. And even if they've kept Mark Williams in that trade, I think the Lakers would look at it as saying, let's just space somebody in a playoff matchup here.
