Re: Playoffs discussion
Denver playing the B team tonight. Surprised they would give up a game like that.

Re: Playoffs discussion
Another late season loss to the Spurs that could have huge implications. They have @Warriors, Pacers, @Kings, Grizz, @Rockets left.kekgeek wrote: ↑Wed Apr 02, 2025 9:37 pmNot even kidding.

Wolves could catch Nuggets all of the sudden.

Run the table and there is a scenario from the KOM where the Wolves snag the 3 seed as part of a 3-way tie!FNG wrote: ↑Wed Apr 02, 2025 4:36 pm A lot of movement last night with anti-klunkers for the Wolves and Warriors. The Grizzlies have now dropped to 8th in my forecast, and the Wolves are tied with the Warriors for 6th. Here's what I have:
OkC: Duh
2. Houston, Lakers: 51 (tiebreaker will be determined when they play each other)
4. Denver 50
5. Clippers 49 (I have the winning their next 6...hope I'm wrong)
6, Warriors 48 (hold the tiebreaker over us)
7. Wolves 48
8. Memphis 47
There's then a huger dropoff to the 4 teams competing for 9th and 10th, but i think it will be Sac-Town and Dallas.
6th is okay, but if we can beat the Dame-less Bucks, we move to 5th tied with the Clips (and our tie breaker). And if Cool is right and we run the table, we might be tied with Denver for 4th...and we have the tiebreaker.
Run the table and we may have home court advantage!

Re: Playoffs discussion
I'll go you one better, Tim. Even though I have the Wolves going 4-2 and finishing in a tie with the Warriors with 48 wins, they could actually even end up in a 5-way tie for SECOND if they run the table, and, the following things happen:
1) Golden State wins at the Lakers tonight
2) Houston loses the last game of the season at home to Denver, and
3) no other klunkers or anti-klunkers occur
If all those things happen, the Rockets, Lakers, Warriors, Nuggets and Wolves would all end up with 50 wins...don't ask me who wins that tiebreaker!
