The Clipps, who have been shaky all year (the Pels beat them twice in games the Clipps needed to win)? The Suns, who will be segababa, set in their playoff position, and resting players? The filthy Spurs, who love to wreak havoc on us and force-feed us wins when we need losses? And Chicago (nuff said)?
If they don't sit Coop with a hangnail, they'll be *extremely* lucky not to end up in a tie for eighth with the Bulls. That's right. A loss in any of these four games - any one of them! literally! - will be a small miracle. All four? Seems existentially impossible to me, but we'll see.
Losing all 4 would be a breeze for Utah. If Dallas doesn't get fined they aren't trying hard enough.
