    I know, @heypartner told me the same few days ago, but i still think if you're Denver you take the old Spurs with Derozan and LMA over OKC with George, Westbrook, Adams...especially if that also means sending OKC against Houston and keep homecourt for the 2nd round against your worst matchup.

    I'm not sure they'll make it out of the 1st round against Utah, i think the Jazz will advance.

    Portland throwing a NBA game just for seeding.

    Should that not be punishable?

    Like you wouldn't be cheering it on if the roles were reversed and the Rockets were tanking?

    I think Denver would rather play okc than the spurs. They have owned them. Portland is definitely losing tonight and Denver will lose to because the Matchups work better which should still give us the 2nd seed against the Spurs

    Denver was ready to give up home court just to avoid the Rockets match up all together; there is no telling what they would do to secure a 2nd round birth with a 1st round match up they believe is a better even if it's OKC.

    Nope. If we would have won, the Warriors would be playing the Thunder, and we would be playing the Clippers. Instead, its going to end up the other way around.

    Lol, they are probably losing either way.

    Denver has just fallen off a cliff, they look like a different team recently. I think this season is a big success for them either way.

    Denver game score is tied at 30-30 in the Q2. It does not look like Denver is trying very hard to win.

    More like T-wolves are putting up a fight, with no Kat either.

    Looks like the 2 teams I didn’t want to play in the 1st round are our only option at the moment

    I'm ok with them tanking. Cuz Portland is clearly trying to fall to 4th.

    Won't be. The Nurkic situation created a situation of pity for them.
