    Do you guys remember the "Davis for MVP cause Pelicans are third in the West" argument? Welp. In fact they better watch out cause the Nuggets are on game behind them i think.

    New Orleans lost to OKC and Minnesota is down big to Utah in the 3rd quarter. Looks like we may get the Pelicans or T'Wolves in the first round. I'm fine with either one.

    Looking like it, would definitely take either for a first round opponent. Hoping now for the Thunder to stick with the 6 seed.

    Huh? This was a great day. The Spurs and Thunder won, so the odds of either one slipping to 8th took a big hit.

    Same here but i hope for NOLA if Butler will be back in time.

    On OKC well, with the Clippers and especially Nuggets losing against trash teams in the past weeks i didn't expect OKC to fall off the playoffs anyway, let's hope they get the 7th seed even though i feel like they might end up 6th, i think the Spurs and Utah will face each other in the first round at 4 and 5.

    That would be perfect, but I can live with the Spurs and Thunder beating the crap out of each other in Round 1. Especially if Utah winds up the 7th seed.

    Lol Rubio is shooting 8 on 13 with 5 on 6 from the 3pt line.

    Also Nuggets down 10 in the first at home against the Bucks...

    Oh definitely, i'd say those two are our best scenarios at this point.

    not a great day. Thunder won. I don't care about seeding, I need these OKC L's to function.

    I think their win today keeps that from happening, we needed Pelicans to get ahead of them in the standings.

    The Thunder are not missing the playoffs. That was never gonna happen. It would be nice for them to drop to 7th, but I also don't want them flirting with 8th.

    Root for Denver to win. We still have a chance to see the Rockets in Denver for the playoffs.

    That's what you can root for now....me seeing the Rockets in Denver. :D

    Seems like the Nuggets are done like the Clippers, they made a 41-20 second quarter just to get outscored by the Bucks 38-16 in the third.

    Can't believe Denver started to struggle as soon as Milsap came back from injury.

    Same here, or better, i'm surprised they didn't get better after he came back, maybe he came back too late...

    They're back in the game though, and Terry just fouled Murray in the last second while he was shooting a 3, they were up 3...

    Murray just made all 3 free throws, now they're 111-111, Bucks ball with 2 seconds to go...unbelivable, they were up 3 with the ball, Middleton just passed the ball to Murray and Terry fouled him...
