If we lose one, the FO is going to subtly push a narrative through Utah media about how we just wanted a top-2 seed and didn’t care which one, and that we accomplished what we needed to.

And it might even be the truthful narrative. I mean if they were really really fighting for the 1 seed do you think they would roll with conley or forrest? I tend to think conley gives you a better shot at the 1 seed than trent forrest but who knows really.
 
This is good for us. The Blazers are more dangerous than the Mavericks, and now they are most likely out of our bracket. Blazers should probably end up 6th.

Eh, I don't fear the Blazers if we're at full strength.

But that having been said, I agree that Dallas is an easier matchup.
 
I watched the end of the Kings v. Grizzlies game tonight. The Kings basically tanked the game in the final minute 2012 Warriors style. First Chimeze Metu shoots a contested 3pt shot for almost no reason. Next offensive possession the Kings get a shot-clock violation. Then on the next defensive possession, they give up a silly and unnecessary foul with the Grizzlies in the bonus. They turned a 2pt deficit into a 6pt deficit in 35 seconds. They made no effort to close that game.

I'm not convinced that the Kings really want to win. I think they want draft position.

Now that said, they might be a bit pissed at us for beating them by 50 pts last time.

The Kings have another game against the Grizzlies tomorrow night. Lets see who gets playing time. Tonight they gave playing time to Louis King.

I'm not super worried about the last two games.

I am annoyed that we could've kept the Lakers out of the play in. My biggest fear isn't losing the 1 seed, it's the Lakers finishing with the 8th seed and us having to integrate a rusted Mitchell against LeBron/AD.

What’s funny is how Booker was fouled with 2.4 on the clock yet the ref didn’t blow his whistle until 1.5 later putting it at .9. He waited until after the shot missed.

Blazers got a bit of a screw job.

No, they put the time back on the clock.

I knew the Jazz didn't care about last night's game against the Blazers when they put in Matt Thomas early in the 3rd quarter.
 
I mean c'mon, we're playing for the best record in the league and the #1 seed throughout the playoffs. We can't ***** foot our way into the top seed.

This gives us something to play for and to go into the POs with a bit of swagger.
