Great developments in the standings for us. Nothing changed for our first round match-up of course, but we‘d probably either face a young and physically weaker team with OKC in the second round or have home court advantage against one of the Warriors, Kings or Lakers who manage to upset them.
Denver has to go through the Suns or Pelicans or Lakers in the first round and then through the Timberwolves, possibly with the Timberwolves having homecourt advantage. As long as the Timberwolves aren’t upset themselves in the first round, but then Denver would face a second team of those first three mentioned, which also wouldn’t be a cake walk.
So all in all the road to the Western Conference playoffs got more doable for us (and for the Clippers), and the chances of not having to beat the defending champs on their homecourt at all increased as well. The stars are aligning, my friends!
