    Well, it sucks if Memphis displaces us, but it's good if Memphis displaces Phoenix - because I'd rather we played Memphis than Phoenix.

    Kind of a lucky break for Giannis since he serves the suspension on a game he would have sat out anyway

    It must be hard for Europeans to break their soccer headbutting instincts in basketball. They're probably trying to control the urge all the time in America.

    I feel for the Europeans on the S2 board. They probably have their heads down as they type like bulls.

    None of this matters. The Blazers just need to beat the Nets.

    They won't displace us cuz we'll win. We want Memphis to win. Then we win and it doesn't matter what Phoenix does. We play Memphis in play-in. OR - everybody but us loses on Thursday and it will still be Memphis/Portland in the play-in on Saturday. Win that and rest up for Lakers.

    If Memphis, Phoenix, and SA all lose on Thursday afternoon, we'll have 8th clinched and won't need to play our starters vs Brooklyn.

    We may not have to. Which would be ideal.

    True but unlikely all 4 lose. Would be nice to play Jaylen Adams and Nassir Little 48 minutes

    It might impact who we play in the play-in, which matters.

    no shit...Phoenix is playing the best BB in the bubble. They have won all 7 games they've played and won by an average of nearly 12 points

    I want Memphis to win. I would rather play Memphis than Phoenix or San Antonio.
