If LAC loses and GSW, LAL and NOP wins, then:
5. GSW
6. NOP
7. LAC
8. LAL

If LAC, NOP loses and GSW, LAL wins:
5. GSW
6. LAC
7. LAL
8. MIN
9. NOP

if GSW, LAC loses and LAL, NOP wins:
5. NOP
6. LAC
7. LAL
8. GSW

if GSW, LAC, NOP loses and LAL wins:
5. LAC
6. GSW
7. LAL

I believe teams will try to make the games close and stall the game as much as possible to be able to see the outcome of other games first and then decide what is the best, to win or lose... If NOP loses, then Clippers best bet is to lose because they can't fall in play-in but they can fall to 6th spot which they want.

For all the live bettors and sports traders, this is a free advice, I am pro sports trader and this is a big opportunity for profits :) I believe we will see something crazy in the end of at least one game

My guess is that he will be back for the start of the playoffs.

He is gonna be reevaluated and they will decide when he is exactly back, but they talked about him needing around 3 weeks. Ha has already rested nearly 3 weeks now.

It doesn't matter. With or without PG, the Clippers look an easier opponent than a healthy Warriors team.

Edit: After reading much more about it I think that PG coming back for the start of the playoffs is a really long shot. He has had so many injuries in his knees before this one, I doubt that he will be on the court before the second round. We will see.


PG is trash! Why are you afraid of him lol

I am not afraid of him but he OBVIOUSLY is a great player (Top 30) and the Clippers are worse without him.

Yeah, they originally said "re-evaluated in 2 or 3 weeks" and even though he was exercising they put no timetable on it and have consistently said 2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back by like game 3 or something though.

It's looking like if Clips would have lost, they still would have gotten the 6 seed because the Pelicans are probably going to lose to the TWolves.

That's a huge game too because if the TWolves win, they get to play in the 7-8 game vs the Lakers, while the Pelicans would play in the 9-10 game vs the Thunder. The TWolves could move all the way up to 7th an play Memphis again. I wonder if they'd prefer Denver though given they have 2 Cs to deal with Jokic.

Yeah, I'd rather play the Warriors of PG is completely healthy but even if he plays he would be rusty and not completely healthy. It could have been a pretty close series if he was healthy. Without him I don't see it going really long, though Kawhi has carried a team with decent players in the playoffs before.
