    Seeds 4-8 all have 32 losses. Seeds 9 and 10 play-in teams also can be the 7th seed.

    Going to be an interesting 3-4 games for each team to end the season.

    Grizzlies are the best match-up to advance.

    A 4 way tie for 6th is insane!

    The only correct answer is the Grizzlies. But I feel like lowkey the Warriors are going to attempt losing intentionally to get that 7 seed.

    If we beat the Clippers . . .we lock up #2
    and I think we would lock them into no better than #7

    Mavs would be ideal, they are definitely the weakest. Minny and Memphis have playoff experience but they are not their usual selves this season, so wouldnt mind them either.

    I don't know how I feel about loading managing tomorrow against the Clippers. I'd rather see them in the 7th seed over the Warriors or Nuggets.

    It is mathemically impossible to face the kings first round.

    Kings if they make it through play ins will have to face the thunders

    So the way it works is.
    7/8 face off. Who ever wins becomes the official 7th seed and face us.

    9/10 face off. Whoever loses get eliminated.

    The winner of 9/10 will face the loser of 7/8. Who ever wins becomes the official 8th seed and face the thunders.

    So in the scenario the kings win both game, they are considered the official 8th seed and face the thunders.

    Anyone but MIN. We always have a tough time against MIN for some reason.

    If DEN falls to 7 I think we need to start Bari. He’s matched up well again Gordon and MPJ. They have too much size and out rebounded us offensively. Gordon had some easy buckets against Amen etc.
