Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

Why do I get the feeling they're scared of Portland...the clippers rested everyone!

I don't know but I don't get the tanking by the Clippers.

5-7 was still undecided.

Looks like the clippers did the league a solid tonight

Stay the 4th seed and be on the other side of the bracket as the 7th seed lakers.

They really put denver in a bind now.

Clippers and Nuggets have no incentive to win anymore games. Everybody in the West is gonna get the matchup they want except the Suns

5-7 is what to watch. Teams trying to avoid the play-in games.

Shyt 2nd half by Dallas tonight. That was pure bs. But they clinched is all that matters.

Nugs might rest players against the Blazers but I doubt it..they're still division rivals after all

Yeah I'm curious do they try to win Sunday versus the Blazers. I wonder if they're going to rest players or not.

If I'm Portland I want the Nuggets instead of one of the LA teams.

It'll be interesting to see how Denver approaches the last game of the season vs the Blazers IF the Lakers beat the Pacers tomorrow

Silver told lue he wants the clippers om the opposite bracket than the lakers. He would have had to pull 2 many strings to get the lakers to the 5th seed or the 8th so this was the easiest thing to do

According to what im hearing, the league really wants these 2 be the 1sr round matchups

West

1. Utah vs 8. GSW (think of warriors mavs in 07)
2. Phoenix vs 7. Lakers (poor CP3)
3. Denver vs 6. Portland
4. Clippers vs 5 Mavericks

East
1. Philly vs 8. Washington
2. Nets vs 7. Boston
3. Bucks vs 6. Knicks
4. Heat vs 5. Hawks

Mavs play the wolves. That’s a win, they’re gonna be 5.
The only question is how hard are the Clippers gonna try to tank it against OKC, so they stay in the 4th seed, at least Denver can say they’re playing a team trying to avoid the play in

Why were the Clippers tanking tonight ? That second half lineup they threw out was terrible....

All of the west series would be amazing.

I got a theory theyre trying to lose and expect Denver to lose to Portland...They want to get into the 4/5 so they get the Jazz in the 2nd round...

 

[Miggs]

Denver got the tie breaker over them so nah. If Denver beats Portland Sunday- Clippers fall to the 4th seed

Shameless franchise scared of facing Lebron in the 2nd round....

To avoid facing the Lakers until the WCF...if the Clippers make it that far
