This was the important game tonight. Kings are 3 games clear of the Suns. Heat were tied and now have 1 more win. In their final 4 games, Suns will go 0-4 or 1-3, so it's 90+% Heat will finish higher Spurs won't catch the Suns because their last 4 games are too difficult. Suns will finish 9th worst.
Unfortunately now that the Blazers are out of the play-in, they have an incentive to tank. But we can still hope.
Now? It was released 10 mos ago. Its crazy people still think its rigged with this much process done. Maybe it was done in the past, but its almost impossible to fake such stuff now with social media and everything.
Agreed. Best case is PHX loses out. Then even if POR loses out too, it’s going to be a coin flip. We still have 50/50 chance of getting the #9.
Yup, just Look at Luka trade, NBA is WWE with basketball that’s it. Lakers, Celtics, Warriors and Knicks are the face and the rest of the leagues are the heel just waiting to strengthen the big cities when the stars grew tired of loosing.
Knicks havent been relevant for 20 yrs. Celtics are actually a small market team iirc, they just have a storied history and rivalry with the lakers. GSW is also a small team and was one of the losers prior to Curry era, their previous best was the run DMC team with Baron Davis but that team ultimately also failed to bring in a ring. AFAIK Lakers are the only team that is favored in the NBA. But its hard to believe the 29 other teams are just gonna sacrifice for the Lakeshow. Even the poor teams in the NBA are owned by billionaires, I doubt they will be ok being feeder teams for Lakers.
Phoenix remaining games: GS OKC SA Sac Portland remaining games: Utah GS Lakeshow Suns over Spurs. Blazers over Utah. Coin flip for #9
Ok. According to this, KD remains out for tomorrow’s game. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/suns-injury-kevin-durant-remains-013523631.html Hopefully after tomorrow, PHX is officially eliminated. KD can go to Cancun early.
