    Now we have to lose the next two no matter what. The Warriors need that win. The Lakers may need theirs or be sitting guys but we still need that loss.

    The Conductor doesn’t want to lose. If anything the Blazers just extended The Conductor so he was ok to lose

    The Schonz is probably spinning in his grave.

    Evan Turner is a good dude. Seems like a genuinely nice guy & I’ve heard several off the court stories about his time here to confirm that. It was fun hearing him on the broadcast tonight.

    Free throw shooting is one of the weakest elements to this Blazer team

    That was a perfect tank - mildly entertaining game while absolutely ensuring the result.

    Looks like the Lakers won't need to win in Portland. LA's next game is Houston, and Houston is resting their starters.

    The Lakers only need to win one of their last two games to secure the 3 seed.

    The Lakers win the tie-breaker with Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Warriors.

    We should be able to tank under them even if they're resting a bunch of guys.

    Utah is a very good sports market. It’s why they have a very good chance for MLB and why they might have 3 major sport franchises for such a small market

    What a pathetic game. Both teams sat most of their best players in order to make sure they lost. This is the kind of crap that makes the NBA bush league. And Adam Silver will look the other way and say nothing.

    Do they? 3-way and 4-way tiebreakers are different and may come into play.

    The other tie breakers don't take effect because the Lakers will win their division, and be the only division winner among the tied teams (if there are tied teams with the Lakers).

    "In the event that more than two teams are tied, the tiebreakers are, in order: division winner....."

    So, once the Lakers get to 50 wins they get the #3 seed.
