Dominated the Nuggets last season in the playoffs before losing to Dallas.
Beat the Thunder last night on the road without Randle, Gobert, and DiVincenzo. Chet was also out. They also hung with them the night before with Chet playing.
How good is this team with their full roster. They seem to be pretty deep. With Naz and Alexander Walker’s scoring off the bench.

No. They won’t have home court for any series. Although it’s wildly unpredictable who will come out of the West. You could make arguments for OKC, Memphis, Denver, Lakers, Mavs if healthy, and even Golden State if they keep playing well and yes Minnesota. I don’t think the Rockets or Clippers are contenders.

One of those games last night where the Thunder were up big, let their foot off the gas and paid for it against an inspired Wolves' second team. OKC couldn't throw a ball in the ocean down the stretch.

The Wolves still have an awkward roster when they are fully healthy. It'll take a genius job from Finch to make all the parts work in the playoffs.

The Knicks stoled KAT in one of the slickest heist this season. So NO. Oklahoma City is all that and if the Knicks had the good sense to simply keep Hartensteine they would be set for greatness. Instead, they let him escape and he is exactly who the Knicks desperately need. Makes no sense. The Thunder will be a tough, tough out. They are growing up with great depth and coaching.

The Rockets are more of a contender than the Lakers.

No, I still think OKC will beat them with relative ease in a 7 game series.

They could but OKC is gonna be tough. Anthony Edwards is the most fun player in the league to watch and is growing into the type of player that can take a game or series over. Good recipe for success in the entertainment world.

That series went 7 games, and they were down 20 in the second half of game 7. Very lucky to come out with a win.

They were also a much better team last season. People constantly overreact to single NBA regular season games. They could make a run because there seems to be no great team in the West outside of OKC, but they're probably a tier below Denver, Memphis, LA, and maybe a healthy Mavs team.

Minnesota 6 wins in a row. Another win vs the nuggets. Though Gordon was out.

why do u think Houston which was one of the hottest teams in the first part of the season and is 1.5 gams out of second with a young,, streaky team
why cant they get hot with home-court advantage through potentially most of the playoffs?

Dunno about Anthony Edwards.

Does he wanna keep telling the world how great he is or does he wanna bring together his team with his great talent?

Minnesota has to, at this moment, be the favorite to get to play OKC in the Western Conference finals. They are in a stranglehold position to beat LA and then host GSW.
