I must’ve missed something. Denver lost?
Yep.
Well goddamn. They were up over 20 I thought. That’s not like them.
I’ll have to watch SC to see what the hell happened.

I have no idea what the path to the one seed is.

Matt Moore usually knows that stuff and said this:

3- way tie record wise between us and Denver and OKC. 2-2 against each other. We have the best conference record between the 3. We are in first.

He had a really bad game today. 0 points, 0 rebounds, 3 fouls, and a -14 in 15 minutes.


Oh, and two bricked crunch-time free throws.

no. it's not best conference record. it's head to head between all the teams. OKC has beaten the nuggets three out of four. they're in first.

Grady was pretty adamant that we are in first with the graphic fox sports put up. But yeah we aren't in first since OKC went 3-1 against Denver in the event all three teams finished tied.

I thought they went 2-2 against them. Okay. Grady gave out some wrong info then.

I'd actually be fine with 2nd because then we could skip a 2nd round Mavericks matchup. Who are locked in. Good team to avoid.

We are going to have to get by Phoenix in the first round though. Won't be easy.

Jaden quietly had a good game on both ends too, after kind of stinking it up against Denver.

OKC isn't losing to Dallas at home. Kyrie and Luka have already been ruled out for that game.

It's a bummer everyone plays at the same time Sunday, would have been nice if the Wolves and OKC played a few hours before Denver, that way if both had won Denver could have said doesn't matter what we do and rested their players.

Adam Silver will have the lakers take out the Thunder and the suns eliminate the wolves. It’s sports entertainment after all. Tv contracts don’t get that big with wolves making a run

Not true. Weimy is right. The tiebreaker is cumulative head-to-head.



However, something folks aren’t considering. If Denver loses @ Memphis and OKC and us both win. Then it’s a 2-team tie between us and OKC. We are then the top seed by virtue of our better conference record.


Does Denver let it all hang out to win in Memphis know that even with a win they don’t control their own destiny to rise above the 3 seed?

Denver probably wins anyway, but they probably beat the Spurs tonight too.

OKC went 10-6 in Division, MN and Denver went 12-4. Then it goes to head to head, then Conference record, where we lead Denver by 5, and OKC by 2.
