Of course. That´s the entire point. Sleeping Hero mentioned the Mavs "healthy" record being good enough for the 4th seed. Well...healthy Blazers and Lakers are probably just as good or even better. Jazz or Suns would be worse if they had suffered from injuries or COVID. Jazz nearly dropped in the last few weeks because Conley and Mitchell missed some games.
Makes no sense to compare the best case scenario for one team and ignore that other teams had even worse problems.
