Who cares if we tanked or not? Denver tanked. Dallas tanked. We got where we needed to go. Now can we finish it off?
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

It's pretty "funny" that a team that generates more revenue/interest (harder fought series, extra drama, more games) not only has to deal with the added fatigue, but are also punished with fewer days off. All for a damn Sunday noon game.

Clips weren't ducking anyone. It was the last time a guy like PG had to get some extended rest. Clips are 4-3 on the road in the playoffs in front of raucous crowds. They knew rest could put them in the situation to win on the road in the later rounds. Those last couple games Kennard received extended minutes


you're **** kidding right? Clippers CLEARLY tanked to 4th to avoid the Lakers.
