    wolves hanging tough.

    i feel like rockets and warriors are the only teams that try to take advantage of how slow jokic is. i dont understand how more teams dont abuse him. how are they one of top defensive teams ? everytime i watch the nuggets i still dont get it.

    Think Spurs have tiebreaker over Clippers

    So it's
    Warriors vs Clippers
    2 seed vs Spurs
    3 seed vs Thunder
    4 seed vs Jazz

    It does not matter what any other team does. If Denver loses Houston is the 2nd seed. 14 pages in and it’s probably been addressed on all of them

    T-Wolves up 6 in the 3rd. Nuggets does a better job of tanking in this game.;)

    Portland gets the memo, and flips a switch.

    Or not.

    Blazers are such chicken littles avoiding OKC. That’s fine. A championship team can beat any team in a 7 game series. Blazers clearly are not with their scared selves...

    Now that the Thunder is out of the 8th spot their confidence is through the roof. They feel they can beat anybody in the first round especially when teams are openly tanking to avoid them.

    Jokic looks so out of shape out there. Denver seems out of sorts.

    Hoping Kobe.. err Wiggins can pull this off. Jokic had to come out the game due to his slow rotations on Wiggins.
