    Clips tanking to 8 after some shitty losses has removed the importance of us getting 3. We just need a single win (or Utah loss) for HCA.

    Can someone explain what seed are we if Denver, Houston and Portland ends with 53-29?

    OKC with the tie breaker over the Jazz.
    The Jazz need to win 1 (but not 2) to hold them off.

    If OKC beats Houston but loses to Bucks. And if Clips beat Jazz at home. And we win our games. We will be 3seed facing 6seed Clippers.

    Let's keep winning. We can handle the Jazz, then the Warriors.
    CJ just can't go 3-13. Wasn't it painful to watch CJ again today ... shoot himself out of the game?
    Stott needs to remember . WE HAVE ALTERNATIVES ..

    I am now a little nervous that the Jazz could lose their last two games. (Vs Denver and @ the Clips.)
    OKC ha two tough remaining games but if the Bucks rest their players? OKC could move into 5th

    I thought for his first game in 3 weeks he played ok. His shot wasnt falling but 13 shots isnt excessive, and he passed well. I expect some rust, the hope is he knocks the rust off before next weekend

    9/6/6 with several shots going round and out or off the back of the rim.

    CJ will be fine, I just hope he continues to find Kanter and Collins.

    I don’t like to see OKC in the playoffs, they have 2 players who can score 40points and take over the game.

    Not in the slightest. I enjoyed seeing him in there even if his shot was off. 6 boards and 6 assists (Should have at least had two more if Collins and Kanter could hold on to a pass under the basket) All In all I enjoyed seeing him move well after the injury. It was good to see him go high for a rebound in traffic late in the 4th.

    Would that actually be a bad thing? All Portland would have to do is beat the Lakers and Kings and they'd move into 3rd and they wouldn't have the play OKC in the process (they'd play Utah).

    That's worst case scenario if we lose one of our remaining two games, but pretty much best case scenario if we win out.

    I’d really like Utah to lose out, Den and LAC, it’s possible.

    Remember last year we’re happy we got the Pelicans, we need to pray we don’t get OKC in the first round. It could be deja vu

    OKC, who looked dead a couple of weeks ago, has won 3 consecutive, hopefully they can beat Rockets.

    They're beating good teams and losing to the crappy ones. It's uncanny.
