Phoenix Suns watch

[Avery]

I missed the game tonight. Watching John Wick with my 13 year-old daughter.

So I think most likely scenario ends up being the Lakers in the first round. They’re probably most likely in the play-in, and if not yet, the Clippers tanking will force Denver’s hand who will give Portland a win. I don’t think the Lakers beat the Warriors, and I don’t think the league in any way allows SAS or MEM to beat the Lakers.

I think a Laker team with Lebron and AD will beat GSW.

I think we get the warriors and the suns get the Lakers.

I hope, but I feel like the universe realized we caught it sleeping and is doing damage control.

I don't see how the Jazz could lose to the Kings if the Kings' rotations are anything like tonight.

So do I understand this at all? I can't see the Lakers being our opponent in our first series. Even with all the NBA thumbs on the scales. Lakers will not be in the play-in. Nuggets do win. SAS out. We play Warriors. Not good for us.

Don't sleep on the Grizzlies.

LAL are currently in the play-in. It requires Dallas or Portland to keep losing to change that. LA would have to win out.

Man, the Clippers surprised me by tanking tonight. Given how much seeding is uncertain I would assume they would aim for the best seed possible. I guess they are trying to avoid the Lakers as best they can...

If the clippers end up in the 4 seed and the Lakers end up in the 8 seed, which is super possible after the Clippers shamelessly tanked tonight to manipulate the seedings, the west 1 seed is literally the worst possible seed to have in the entire playoffs.

The NBA already has a problem with teams sandbagging the regular season, and - spoiler warning - it's not going to get any better after this garbage.

Assuming clippers and Lakers are good, then it's a bad seeding.
