    No problem. This is Minnesota’s last game. They want to win. Maybe Dallas comes back though. Who knows?

    At this point DAL is 5th no matter what so they won't feel any urgency to win

    I’m at the sports book at Chinook Winds. Great seat and I am watching every game at the same time.
    There are about 8 of us here locked in on the games.

    Clips are back up in OKC. This changes things. Explains what Dallas is doing if they want to avoid LA

    Blazers aren't worried about the results of the other games going on.

    The Clippers came out firing after they saw the halftime score and know that they might be playing Portland if they win.

    Looks like it's gonna happen. OKC out tanking LAC.

    That would mean:

    3-6: Clipers-Blazers
    4-5: Nuggets-Mavericks

    I think Dallas decided to tank this game because they didn't want the Clippers. What they may have not calculated is the OKC might actually out-tank the Clips

    If we keep Melo under 18 points we’ll win!

    I am watching the match, it is 04:20 am now in my time zone in Bosnia. I enjoy in the match and how our players play, and of course my Bosnian Beast Nurk. But i must ask here in this forum some of you who wrote that Nurk sucks because of three f....ing missed FT, and that he will cost us play off game etc...Are you serious? He has 18/10 in firts half, he scored almost all of fg, and you write negative about him because of three ft? i really do not understand that. Can you explain me please?

    BTW; I think we could have signed LaMychal Green (39% from 3) instead of Jones. Seems like he might have been a better fit; I think he would actually be in our rotation.
