Dude, no team is coming back from 25 down in 5 mins let alone the kings. You could literally take shot clock violations every time and still win comfortably.

I wasn't suggesting they could. I agree he should have taken the starters out sooner but all I was saying is the scrubs haven't give Quin any reason to play them. Just a few games ago Quin had to reinsert Niang and Clarkson back into the game because scrubs manage to lose a big chuck of a 20 pt lead in a few minutes.

Poor Phoenix... All of that work... Only to be ousted in 5 games in their first playoff series in 10 years.

So I still don't know how the tournament works. Is the 7th seed basically whoever wins out of the 7/8 (GSW/Lakers) game? Then 8 is determined by the winner between the loser of 7/8 and the winner of 9/10?

We don't know that yet.

I don't think the Lakers are as good as people are expecting them to be.

They can beat the Lakers, but Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton need to grow up fast. It is a big ask for a team's first PO series though.

I've enjoyed this season as much as any I can remember. Rudy Gobert is a game-changer far more than many people realize.

The Clippers really tanked to be the 4 seed to play us in the 2nd round without home court vs the Lakers with home court. That is going to bite them in the ***.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they lost in the first round anyway

Cool, thanks. May the league step-in to help the Lakers in the 7/8 game.

If it were only for that game I'd be for it.

And neither did the Nuggets!
(Gotta say I feel a little bad for the Suns, they finish with the second best record in the League and will likely lose to the Lakers in the first round- ouch!)

Would be sweet if suns beat the Lakers and Mavs beat the clippers. (Mavs are 5 seed iirc but I'm not sure

Is that a given. Everyone is assuming the Lakers beat the Warriors. If the Lakers lose to the Warriors then they play the winner of the 9/10 game. The winner of that game plays the Jazz. So if I am reading this right, The Jazz could play the Lakers in the first round.

Absolutely correct, and definitely cause for concern. I assume every Jazz fan will be watching that play-in game. But it will be played in LA and the Lakers are deeper, bigger etc, etc. There shouldn’t be any funny stuff because that would mean having to play another sudden death play in game.
