OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

Lol. The trade was voided due to a player not passing the physical. It's happened from time to time. Did they know he wouldn't be able to pass a physical? Who knows.

They can still trade him, it's just more complicated as other teams can stop the trade. I think. Doesn't every trade from here on out go through some sort of wavers?


Jazz have been pretty good as of late at home. They play the Rockets in Utah, so there's that.

We don't need your logic here. Rockets suck and that's just the way it is.

We got this... We. Got. This!

I think we end up 7 or 8 though... would love to climb to 5 but don't think we get there. Porty or Dallas may get it. We will be within a game or two though.

If Houston is close to missing the playoffs I think they will tank... they lose their first rounder this year if they miss the playoffs... if not the obligation is extinguished.

Am I a bad fan for feeling almost nothing for the 7th or 8th seed? Seriously, I feel the smallest blip. GSW and SAS are so damn elite. 6th or higher, please.

This makes no sense. It's like backwards protection. Why would they tank if that causes them to lose their pick?

I want 5th tbh. But either way this team needs to experience the playoffs. The team needs to learn those bumps. No we won't beat them but it'll be a taste of the next level.

Its protected 1 through 14... so if it lands in the lotto they get to keep it... hence the tank job. They don't owe Denver anything if they don't convey the pick this year.

Yes... stop it. I would either want 5th or 8th. Why not measure yourself against the champs. OKC did in their first playoff run and I think its beneficial.

I'd rather not play SA or OKC though... they are just difficult for us and I would hate to lose to a team with Kanter.

Ya, there is no comparison between the two. OKC had three developing superstars, and would have got to where they are regardless. They were facing easier competition than the historically elite GSW. I'll take 7th or 8th spot. Why not have 4 extra games? But thinking that we're in the same spot OKC was in, or that we would "measure against" GSW in any meaningful way is delusional.

I'll reform.
