Nuggets played their scrubs in the 4th against the Blazers starters. Blazers will win. Not looking great.

Pretty much every game from here on out is a must win with the blazers sitting at 1.5 games ahead for the play-in game. Hopefully the pelicans, rockets, and jazz have mailed it in by the time those games happen.
OKC is getting rocked by Memphis. Looks like the Spurs will likely have to win out to have any sort of chance. Will be interesting to see which teams will start resting players in the last three games. I think that will play a huge factor.
well boys it was a good run, maybe in another decade we can get a chip
you may all go to hell and i will go to Texas
Maybe we will have some lottery magic and snag Avdija.

Gonna have to get really lucky with the ping pong balls or trade up to get Deni.

Definitely. He's a top 5er fore sure and might climb even higher. I would trade anyone on our team for him outside of DW and KJ.
The Blazers just lost to the Clippers today with Kawhi out and Paul George playing limited minutes. Who woulda thought.

About time some one helped us out with Portland.
Suns are 5-0 in the bubble. Did Sarver recently sell the team or something?

Maybe Phoenix will make it and we can move up to 10 in the draft.
Drew Eubanks has a really good hook shot. Not a skill you see much anymore. Also, I'm really tired of Jakob not dunking the ball around the rim.
Really good half, and the pels are lucky it's not more out of hand. We've missed a bunch of open 3s and JJ Reddick is the only one scoring for NOLA. Gotta keep applying the pressure and pushing the pace. NOLA's transition defense is really bad.
Held on to win. Ugly second half after Derrick White went out with a left knee contusion, but a win is a win.
Memphis lost earlier, just need Philly to beat Portland and we're in a good position.

I would think Memphis makes it just because their two remaining opponents are locked in to their playoff spots and will likely err on the side of caution to rest their players.
Spurs have to go 2-0. If White is injured I don't think that will happen.

The Suns are rolling. Unreal how well they've played in the bubble.
OKC rested a bunch of players. Even if the Spurs win out, I think other teams playing the Blazers/Grizzlies/Suns will also rest players. With the teams trying to make the play-in playing balls to the wall, I don't expect Portland or PHX to lose any more games. That 76er game really hurt us.
White questionable for tomorrow.
So.....Keldon Johnson?
2 options for Spurs to get in.
Option 1:
-Win vs Utah on Thursday
And 2 of the following:
-1 Portland loss
-1 Phoenix loss
-2 Memphis losses
Option 2:
Spurs go 1-1
Portland & Phoenix go 0-2

If PHX was playing some real basketball teams it would really help.
I just think about that Philly game where they almost won. Now with Simmons being out possibly for the remainder of the season, teams are playing Philly without their point guard. Simmons was still playing when they played the Spurs.

Yea, but he was in foul trouble for the game. DJ really ****ed up on both sides of the court in crunch time that game. I would say it's a good learning experience, but I think that's just who DJ is. Not the best decision maker.
This Mavs game 4th quarter officiating is brutal.
That basically ends the Spurs playoff chances. Dallas has no incentive to play their starters anymore against the Suns. Portland will surely handle Brooklyn. Bucks will likely rest their big guns against Memphis.
Streak over?
Barring a miracle looks to be that way. Even if the Spurs win, teams of scrubs would really have to get up to play.
Conley and Gobert out tomorrow. Giannis suspended for the last seeding game tomorrow, not that he would have played against Memphis anyways.
Well today is the day. Memphis and Phoenix both play at 3, so if one of them doesn't lose we'll be eliminated by the time our game starts. It looks bleak, but here's to holding out hope.
I hope Pop called Bud and Marks and gave them the 'I made you' conversation last night.

Portland is clearly the best team of the 4 though, so hard to be too disappointed about it. If Lilliard keeps playing like this they can give the Lakers a real run.
Grizzlies up 19 going into 4th and the Sun's may be up 30 going into the 4th going against Dallas.
Playoff streak coming to an end. 22 years is nothing to scoff at. Here's to the next generation.
I want Luka playing 48 mins this last game.
