    I must say it feels good, almost complementary that nuggs are trying to get out of facing us for almost two straight rounds, they know they are possibly sacrificing the second seed.. what i like even more is how much more pissed of jazz fans are then rockets fans.. they were so happy with getting a depleted blazers, now the prospect of facing a titan in Houston rockets, scares the crap out of them..

    also its not like we didnt get some advantage with knicks and suns trying to throw the games away.. I mean if their stars would have played we still would have been heavy favourites, but you have to admit the two teams taking all their starters out pretty much guaranteed the wins.. I mean its like we are watching 1992 dream team go against international competition.. I am sure nuggs and blazers are a little miffed at us getting two complete gimmies.. I mean Phoenix has swept bucks beaten them twice, beaten nuggets twice and beaten warriors at golden state... these dudes have a tendency of upping their game against tough competition

    I would rather us not lose to teams like the Cavaliers and Pelicans because we no-showed.

    But it doesn’t matter at this point. We’ll see how they do against OKC. But it’s just frustrating that we’re in this spot.

    I imagine Portland will end up winning, but this shows they should have played their guys.

    Imagine their bench is pretty elite. Also Blazers not playing that well.

    I guess we aren't getting the #2 seed now?

    The Jazz will catch (and basically overtake) the Blazers if Denver wins this game...

    Can’t believe I feared the Clippers over the Thunder.
    Now we’re getting the Thunder and wish it was the Clips

    I see why Denver tanked to get Portland up to 3rd seed. They are beating them at their place when they were try to throw the game. I honestly don't see Portland getting out the 1st round no matter what seed they are at.

    It looks like they are resting all their important players when they're so close to POR and us... Try harder, man...

    ok so Portland might win, if we lose to OKC, which we very well could. we drop to 4th to play the Jazz? that ain't so bad imo

    Rockets threw a lot of games away.

    Got off 4-7/11-14 start
    Blowout loss to the Pelicans opening night
    Losses to the Pistons, Cavs, Wizards
    Luka Doncic outscoring you in the final minute
    Collapse vs the Magic
    Epic collapse vs the Nets(OT loss)
    Losing to the Pelicans (again) who were missing majority of their starters
    Losses to the Wolves & Lakers
    OT loss to the Grizzlies
