We are very close within 3 games. I want to try to force the clippers to the 4-5 slot and want the nuggets to remain 3. Y’all think this is possible? lakers/clippers battle is out in rd 2. While we play Mavs, Denver then wait for lakers/Clippers
The #4 spot is a very slim chance but that is the best case possible scenario to put the lakers/clips on the same side of the bracket. The lakers are already set at #1. The only question is do the clips win enough games to remain #2. Theoretically yeah they should, especially with the lead now. And I'm sure they realize the importance of not potentially seeing the lakers til the wcf. And if the clips drop to #3 and the rockets move all the way up to #2, that defeats the purpose of it all anyway.
Just win baybeee. Let chips fall where they may. Rockets do not care about seeding. This ain't Portland.
3 out of 6 games left for the Rockets are going to be tough, IMO. Blazers (8/4), Lakers (8/6), Sixers (8/14)
Unrealistic. With 6 games left, and Clips having Brooklyn and Phoenix, we’d have to win every game and LA would likely have to go 1-3 with the games not mentioned. We’re going for the number 3 seed.
