That's one way to think about it!

We should be favored in all of those games.

Let’s win some extra money for our tiny salary guys!

$500k May not mean as much to Ant, but to guys like Nix or Jesse Edwards, that’s huge.

100% true. That said to guys like Minott, Miller, TSJ that money doesn’t hurt either.

I should read the rules... I'm just lazy.

Speaking out of memory, these first games of the tournament counts the same for Regular Season W-L standings.

Supposed I'm not missing anything, Finch would rather die than adopt the plan of loosing half of them to skip the Non-Counter For RS Final Cup Games.

And I agree with him.

So expect the same Thibodanian rotation he has been displaying so far.

Must win. After a bad game, have to bounce back. Go Wolves!

This is correct.

Also a reminder, point differential is still a tiebreaker.

That mia game was rough. So much so that Finch needs a wake up call.. not on the hot seat, but it's getting warmer..

These turnovers are so idiotic

Wake up wolves. I'll be pissed if we drop the first cup game to Portland.

Julius Randle is a body. No effort. Just thinks he deserves his.

Watch him solely.. terrible defender, no interest in boxing out.

Hot hand starting the year, but he'll come back to reality.

Bench this guy. Try jaden at pf.

Maybe the guys who want the money should play then.
