I'm assuming he doesn't have a triple double yet?![]()
Denver incoming unless some crazy goes down
Let's hope Denver and Portland win so the Rockets and the Warriors face each other in the second round.
After this first round of games, the possibilities simplify as follows:
Minny
vs
Denver
Jazz
vs
Clippers
Kings
vs
Blazers
I think there are eight potential combinations.
Minny wins, Jazz win, Kings win
Minny wins, Jazz lose, Kings win
Minny wins, Jazz lose, Kings lose
Minny loses, Jazz win, Kings win
Minny loses, Jazz lose, Kings win
Minny loses, Jazz lose, Kings lose
Kings lose, Jazz win, Minny wins
Kings lose, Jazz win, Minny loses
Are there others?
If not, what is the seeding outcome for each scenario?
We are playing Denver unless they lose, in which case we are playing Houston. It really simplifies for us now.
We play Denver, no need to overanalyze it
Rich and creamy Nougats control their destiny?
hopefully they dont tank this game because Towns is out and they should win, unless they want to play OKC in the first round which i dont think they do. really dont want to watch Harden continue to disgrace the game of basketball against us
It looks like Denver can pick the Spurs in the first round (by winning) or OKC (by losing).
Yeah! We're Number Seven!!!

Sucks. Playing Portland would've been a dream come true. Oh well. Better Denver than Golden State or Houston.
Portland is tanking and the Clippers game doesn't impact the Spurs so it's basically up to the Nuggets. Nuggets win, Spurs play the Nuggets. Nuggets lose, Spurs play the Rockets.
They would get Houston in round 2(and without HCA) if they lose tonight IIRC, which would defeat the purpose of the plan they've been trying to pull..
refs do have a tendancy to stop giving Harden so many ridiculous FTs in the playoffs, and LA has played well against them in the past. but would feel much better with Millsap or Plumlee guarding him instead of Capela
Even if Portland loses. Denver would be giving up HCA to the Rockets with a loss tonight. They can't tank.
Didn't they say Lillard might play now?
Higher pick and they avoid getting hammered by the Dubs in the 1st round.![]()
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Damian Lillard is now active tonight for Portland

So if Nuggets win against TWolves, they get the Spurs. If they lose, they get Thunder. I guess they’ll win to get Spurs, but better for us
So if Denver wins, should Spurs fans be glad we lost to Sacramento at home (thereby getting Denver rather than the Rockets in the first round)?
The Nuggets swept OKC this season and split with the Spurs.
I hope they don't lose tonight to face Thunder.
I guess we'll know soon enough.
Bring on the Nuggets!!!
Give my OKC and Donovan any day of the week over Utah + Snyder.....especially if PG is in any way limited...
Not sure why dumbass Portland doesn't just try and win tonight...
I definitely think they'll try to win (at least in the first half) since a win gives them HCA over a possible Houston 2nd round matchup. But Houston is a better team and is playing better rn, so there's a chance they're getting on by mid 3rd quarter and mail it in to rest their guys
