If the Lakers draw OKC first round, then LAC/NOP the 2nd round, they unfortunately have a real shot to make the WCF again. I'm not as sold on those three teams. Clips should be better but they seem to be a mess.
Hope Minnesota or especially Denver are the 1 seed. I think the Wolves can beat them this year, even without KAT.
Then again, this could be a lot easier if Golden State or Houston just beats the Lakers in the first play-in game.
