i don't care about that part i just want the league to face the consequences of the play-in tournament

wld be funny

Lots of people begging the nuggets to tank their game against the blazers so they don’t face the lakers but I think you should just play the game out. Jokic has played every game, he’s MVP, let him finish it off without tanking.

I'm no fan of tanking to manipulate the standings, whether it's to manipulate the draft order or playoff seeding. Either one is bad and hurts the league. When a final game is meaningless to the standings, I'm fine with resting whoever needs rested.

If you don't like this perceived offense, win more games.

if the nuggets tank to avoid the lakers it would only benefit my chosen team, but I'm not begging them asking them to tank. play the game and see who wins. the playoffs will take care of themselves. every team will lose their series eventually, except one. gaming the first round seems pointless when there are three rounds after that.

nuggets should tank tomorrow it’s the right thing to do, morally

nuggets should win the nba playoffs
― ciderpress, Saturday, 15 May 2021 21:54 (three years ago) link
it’s the right thing to do, morally
morally they're covered, but only bcz lakers

i want everyone to tank to avoid the lakers and then for the lakers to lose in the play in, just seems like a fun scenario

love tanking /trusttheprocess

sometimes you gotta tank

I support the nuggets tanking this game btw
wilbon was inducted into the HoF? okay
― Clay, Sunday, 16 May 2021 06:05 (three years ago) link
can he even dunk
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 May 2021 12:07 (three years ago) link
If the nuggets had Murray it would be defensible to tank, but in this circumstance I don’t like it

So Hawks get the 4 seed due to winning the southeast I think
― Heez, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:22 (three years ago) link
espn has the knicks at 4
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link
If there is a tie, then head-to-head record is used to determine which team receives the better seed.
If that is also level, then the higher seed goes to the team that is a divisional champion. Should both or neither team be divisional champion, the third tie-breaker is the win-loss record against other teams in their division.

Oh well I don’t think we can fall to 6 at this point
― Heez, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:44 (three years ago) link
if you look at the opponents for today the top 6 in the east is gonna stay as it currently is. the only team with a game they could lose is the knicks but boston is apparently resting its entire team today
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:51 (three years ago) link
so basically the sixers should have a cake walk into the east finals
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
hmm are the celtics not capable of giving them a hard time in the first round this year
― ciderpress, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:55 (three years ago) link
prob not lol
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:56 (three years ago) link
i mean jaylens out, also they cant play defense
oh right forgot about that completely because i stopped watching the games lol
― ciderpress, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
haa
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link
huh are the wizards really the best team in the east play-in then? fucked up
― ciderpress, Sunday, 16 May 2021 16:00 (three years ago) link
if the celtics drew the sixers they would have a hard time getting to 100 points in those games
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 May 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link
i didn't notice what the wiz were doing the past month, 100% wins or <5 point losses
― ciderpress, Sunday, 16 May 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link
i haven't kept track, but did the league succeed in making up most of the games postponed due to covid earlier this season?

everyone is getting to 72.

suns-spurs had an insane ending for a virtually meaningless game
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:05 (three years ago) link
it was very meaningful for the spurs who likely got a better draft pick bc of this loss.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:11 (three years ago) link
could mean the difference between getting jalen johnson and getting keon johnson

Playoff draymond is just a completely different beast

does winning the 9-10 play-in game hurt your draft positioning?
i think your draft position only changes if you make it into the offs but not 100% sure
― ciderpress, Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
thats correct
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
not impressed by ja right now
― micah, Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
like the lottery is still the teams that missed the offs by descending record
Ja been doo doo

Jordan Poole turning into a solid 6th man option is a great story for the dubs

I notice the betting line listed by ESPN for Blazers v Nuggets has the Blazers by 9.0. I guess the idea the nuggs will tank the game is conventional wisdom now.

Dubs gonna trick off another game they had in the bag?

i love how steph beats hedges by passing the ball and then sprinting to the three point line while the big is still trying to change direction at midcourt
