If this happen then defeat vs Phoenix was good but everything can change, lets root now for the most important thing - Pacers win, and we will have all in our hands - against who to play in first round.
unless Dallas says "fuck playing the Clippers in the 1st round" and tanks their game against Minny while Blazers win, get 5th seed, and play the Clippers
Well I guess we’ll see what happens. They also played the g-league Rockets and at no point did Lue entertain bringing George and Leonard in to help win the game. Perhaps he’ll do the same against OKC. I will say this, it’ll be interesting watching two teams intentionally trying to lose.
Hoping this will be the only thread we post about all the craziness of positioning........ seems like we have to look in 4 different threads right now. It's going to be confusing enough of what's going on. Glad you guys all know how this shit works.....
There's an HCP's wife joke I just wrote but it felt a little too mean-spirited to actually post. But it made me laugh.
Blazers suffer bitter defeat at Phoenix after missed free throws and a challenged foul call (yahoo.com)

I really want to see this happen, what a big F U to competition. But hey it is a strategy nonetheless.
Nuggets will TANK on Sunday. Why risk injury and beating a team like us which is do or die so they can get 3rd seed and play lakers? The clippers will be hard pressed to loose to OKC who is worst team in nba even with all bench it he tough for okc to win but even if OKC wins, the nuggets got nothing from beating us and then facing lakers. They at least could play us as 6th seed instead of lakers. If clippers win then Denver looses they play mavricks. No way anyone wants to play lakers in 1st round with the refs being 6th man for lakers
