    It was not dumb at all. We win this game if it was not for the BS Luka ejection.

    I like that they went at OKC this game. And we had a shot to win it. It’s really hard to win back to back games against the same team.

    OKC knows now we are a threat, they scored 80 in a half and we were right there with them. They’ll be nervous facing us in the playoffs rather than jsut anticipating running rough shod over us.

    And we’ll go and smash Dallas tomorrow anyway.

    Houston is the most important game left for me. The Dallas game should be interesting tho.

    Dallas has 3 games off while the Lakers are now coming off a tough b2b game against the best team in the league. Lakers are very good team, and it likely will still work out but this was not smart strategy to maximize your chances of getting that 3 spot

    gotta find a way to get two of these last three. after that, i want the warriors to win out, so that a) we don't have to play them in round 1 and b) the thunder probably do.

    IF we win our games and clips beat the warriors in that last one, i'd hope the grizz win out (beating denver in that game).

    the mem/den and the gs/clips games are huge, assuming everything else goes as expected (which often doesn't happen).

    anyway, i'd prefer to avoid the clips or warriors in round 1. they're on fire and have terrifying top options. i'd rather they get beat up a bit first.

    Yes, how is this relevant? Old draft picks involved or something? Two teams that suck in the opposite conference, kind of doesn’t make any sense to care about that.

    guessing there's never been a time in nba history when seeds 3-8 were fully up for grabs with 3 games left. insane.

    man I hope they don't end up playing the Clips or GS in the first round - those are going to be two tough outs.

    With the playin looks like it's going to stay (its great IMO), they need to allow the teams to pick their opponents by seeds. You can get too many crazy coin flips where you get a stronger first round opponent the higher your seed.

    GSW lost, Denver and Clippers won
    What do we have now.
    If Clippers will win at last game of season vs GSW, warriors is in play in

    Holy s***: last I checked GS was up pretty big. That's a bad loss for them, they're one loss behind Memphis now.
    That would be a golden scenario for the Lakers Memphis at the 6 spot

    Memphis plays at home against Sota then B2B at Denver so they are likely play-in bound .

    We'll see , too many possible scenarios right now
