Depends on what happens with the Clippers, Dallas may rest their starters again if they’re locked into the 5th seed no matter what.
What im saying is Denver gave themselves so many options with this loss. Minnesota now can’t get the 1 seed unless Denver loses Sunday. OKC can’t avoid the 1 seed unless Denver loses and Minny wins, whether they win or not.

They are so scared of the Lakers
They should be thrilled if they play the Lakers. Denver has owned them the last couple years and they can’t stop them in crunch time.

Lakers should be happy if Denver doesn’t get the #1. Of course they still need to win in the play-in

Lebron should have just dribbled out the clock. That was some bullshit.

They probably will.

Plus if Denver finishes as the 3 seed Jokic probably loses the MVP race to Luka or SGA. Denver being the #1 I think he’s a lock, but being 3 and Luka being 5 isn’t so easy to and the distance between them doesn't help Joker anymore.

The bold is the key. Almost every game has come down to who executes better in crunch time and it's been the Nugs.

I don’t even want to talk about the mvp, it’s over.

Minnesota broadcasters incorrectly saying Minny wins a 3 team tiebreak. They do not.

I thought they did because their collective record is better than Denver’s.
The first tiebreak for seeding when 3 teams are involved is the overall record in games between the teams.

I think Denver and Minny are tied in that aspect so it goes to conference record which Denver loses.

You aren’t hearing me, the Thunder win the 3 way tie with the best record of the 3 in games they all played against each other. Thunder went 5-3, Twolves 4-4, Nuggets 3-5.

How do you get a 5 second violation with a timeout in your back pocket?
Jokic was trying to call a timeout. But Murray, with the ball, is the one who should have with refs watching him.

Thunder going to end up as the 1, Denver as the 2, and Minny as the 3 IMO

I doubt the champs are really worried about anyone
Maybe they aren’t, but I sure am. Timberwolves especially, they are a tough match for Denver and especially now that they will have HC advantage.

I very well may get the call to suit up Sunday, just putting it out there now.
