    These two teams played like two teams fighting for the 8th seed.

    I don’t get how Minny is this bad.

    Utah win puts us in a better bracket, we would play the winner of blazers or pelicans in the 2nd round.

    i want the warriors to play the thunder.

    since we didn't get it in the first round the next best thing is we can get it in the 2nd round.

    We're rooting for Utah.

    If they win it pushes them and OKC to the Warriors side of the bracket.

    And fingers crossed, a Rockets second round matchup against Portland or New Orleans.

    So matchups in West are set

    Just a matter of whether OKC-Utah and New Orleans-Portland is 3/6 or 4/5 (and if Utah is hosting or not)

    Go Utah!

    Wolves just now remind me of when we got to the 2nd round with the 2009 team.

    the one less timeout thing has really made a difference. denver would've stopped the game with 40.3 seconds left for a possession if they weren't worried about timeouts. now they had to run a real posssession. and now they have none with 10 seconds left and can't just advance.


    my goodness players are stupid. i will never understand guys down 2 possessions with under 10 seconds left who dribble around looking for a good shot. you play all season for the playoffs and then basically don't get a shot off for 10 seconds when you still have a chance for a miracle. just so strange. a bad shot is better than no shot.

    If Milsap wasn’t hurt most of the season the Nuggets would have been a lock for the playoffs.

    We want Utah to win, giving us the winner of Portland/New Orleans, neither of which is tough enough to challenge
    the rockets.
