But if they think they can make a conference finals run, you definitely want to avoid GSW in the 2nd round. Tricky situation.

This is the only reason I think Portland will try tonight.

Everyone knows who the king of the hill is and at this point you just prolong that match-up as long as possible and hope they get nicked up.

Portland needs to win. I want the GS-Hou match up in round 2. And if Curry aint 100%

Can someone provide a parabola chart of the playoff implications for tonite? I really just wanna know if we're gonna get gsw/lac and den/sas. And Houston gets either Utah or OKC right?

So....., are the Lakers technically in shambles though? Asking for a friend

After last year's embarrassment, I'm sure they just wanna make it out the 1st round

Only way for LAC to climb to 7th is if

The Clippers must beat Utah in the regular-season finale. Then one of three scenarios must also happen: San Antonio beats Dallas and Milwaukee beats Oklahoma City; both Dallas and Oklahoma City win; or Dallas and Milwaukee both win.

Man..these teams really aint good enough to be looking that far ahead . And if you really are good enough to go that deep, you're not worried about tanking for seeding

Denver is the 2nd best team and they're trying to avoid Houston in the 2nd round.

Funny thing is there's alotta NYC cats in Charlotte/NC too

Denver aint no damb 2nd best team they give up the most 3's in the league and have beat Houston like once in the past 2 years

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Right. When they need to be worried about the Spurs. DeRozan and LMA will be the best players in that series and they have the coaching advantage

They all losing to GS no matter how far they get, none of this seeding bs matters ..so shout out to Portland for seeing the bigger picture and shooting for just a 1st round victory

They can worry about the Spurs but should def worry much more about Houston for a multitude of reasons

 

[dacomeup]

2nd best record, man. I think Houston would get them out of here too. They're successfully avoiding that.

This is gonna blow up in their face . They're doing all kinda goofy **** trying to play the numbers. They haven't played real basketball in 2 or 3 games and they're going up against the sharpest knife in the drawer in pop. It's not good to mess with your momentum and chemistry like that and look passed the opponent in front of you

Don’t see it happening. We just gotta prepare for that *** whupping by the Warriors

But like HIM said yesterday - We weren’t even supposed to be here!
