...not when he is trying to shoot step-back 3pt game winners at the buzzer like he is Dame or something
wait what?? how. I must have missed how that was explained somewhere? If we lose all our games and the other teams win? We still get 8th???
We control our own destiny to finish ahead of New Orleans! If both teams had gone 8-0 we both would've had .500 records and they would've had the tiebreaker. Now if we go 7-1 and they win out we will have a minescule winning percentage advantage over New Orleans. So now they need us to lose 2 times more than however many losses they additionally have. Technically if both us and Sacramento went 8-0 they would get the conference record tiebreaker over us. So we need them to lose 1 game for us to officially control our destiny for the playoffs.
We want whoever would have the most wins against other opponents to lose those. I would guess we will want the Kings to win those.... but if they start putting together wins maybe you are right or we even root for NOP.
Should be. They were one of the best teams in West since AS break. They’re ahead of Pels in standings now and they play the Pels twice. It’s weird they’re being overlooked.
I really think it’s the Grizzlies who end up on the outside looking in. They have an extremely tough schedule and they’re very young. I could see them going 1-7.
Maybe not 1-7. But I could see us going 6-2 and them going 2-6. Then we'd only have to beat them once in play-in tourney. Or Pels if they go 6-2.
The thing about Memphis is Ja Morant. This is basically his sophomore season. He's due to make a jump.
