Denver throwing a game away to Portland on purpose in hope of Houston falling to #4 seed!

Understood. I suppose all the Rockets can do is beat OKC, and then sit back and watch the mayhem play out. Personally I'm not scared of anyone in the West. I'd obviously prefer to not face OKC in the first round, but if that's what we have to do, then that's what we have to do. We're capable of beating every single team in the league in a 7 game series.

 

When is story coming out that teams in East are throwing games to avoid playing Bucks and Giannis?

 

We clearly don't give a f**k who we play.

Unless you're the Rockets or the Warriors, your playoffs end when you face the Rockets or Warriors.

 

Smell that? Fear has a lovely scent.

 

"Respect the Freak...."

 

Sure.....

 

You mean "and Rockets lose" right? If Rockets win tonight, Rockets lock 2-3, Jazz lock 5.

 

Folks thinking the Jazz will blow a shot at HC need to realize how important:

- a home playoff game can be for the team

- an extra home playoff game IS to the owners pockets

The Jazz aren’t tanking if homecourt is still an option. It’s harder for their fans to call players boys or tell them to get on their knees on the road.

 

Right, thanks for the correction.

 

if they play portland there will be almost guaranteed a whole lot of home games for the owner and if they play houston they are guaranteed no more playoffs revenue

 

same. I think we can beat anyone in the west honestly, but I personally do not want to see OKC in round 1. They have always been that team thats not as good, but you know has the potential deep down there somewhere to pull an upset, out of any other team
