Nuggets to lose for sure, since Lakers winning does nothing for us and another Denver loss means we're closer to getting the 3 seed. Utah and Dallas is whatever. Not sure who owns the tiebreak there.
Utah tanking hard vs Dallas. 4Q score is 4 - 20. OKC already lost to Suns. Nobody wants to play against the Rockets?
they need to keep winning in order to stay alive. hopefully the rockets can help them tomorrow by beating the spurs
denver winning goes towards being able to bump the clips to the 4th seed if both den/hou win out and clips lose out. very unlikely scenario but still. and denver/clips play each other on wednesday making that game extremely interesting assuming denver wins tonight
Epic tanking job by Utah. It will be hilarious is Nuggets/Rockets win out, and Clippers lose out, and Rockets get the #3 seed to play Utah at #6 seed again!
The way teams are trying to avoid the Rockets, maybe I shouldn't feel as concerned about this OKC matchup.
Tanking to avoid a certain opponent in the playoffs is a loser mentality. It never works. You lose your momentum going into the playoffs. And if you eventually have to face that opponent, you already conceded that you are scared of them.
That's true. Denver also wants to win out, since if the Clips are 4th seed, Denver (and Houston) wouldn't have to see either LA team until the conference finals.
Michael Porter Jr is what the Lakers thought Kuzma would be lol too funny to watch them guard each other
Lol Reggie still trying his hardest to say AD is a top 5 player. Oh please. They just won’t give it a rest
