5th Seed Watch (was 6th Seed Watch)

[HiRez]

Grizz lost at least, that's good. Clippers won. Rockets and Lakers playing each other, at this point I think it's more beneficial to want the Rockets to win.

[hamncheese]

Yeah. If Lakers lose with a win tomorrow, puts the 4th seed in play. And that game in L.A. will be a big test to see if the Dubs are serious for the playoffs.

[Twinkie defense]

Half a game out of fifth!

[cpower]

lakers will likely to be our biggest challenge. They have the offense, defense and the refs Literally no way to beat them.

[HiRez]

I'm excited for this next stretch of 4 games. So much at stake in all of them. Some for seeding and tie breaking. Others just to get a preview of how we measure up to other top teams heading into the playoffs.

[watch1958]

Eight game playin.

[watch1958]

Go Nuggets

[watch1958]

We have clinched #8 at least.

Minny just lost in 2OT

Minny just lost in 2OT

Ah, nope. Westbrook had a brain fart and fouled with 0:00.1 left. Twolves hit two FTs and won the game.

[cpower]

Westbrook is an idiot

[bay2hk]

Westbrick to the rescue. 3 seed is still in play for us

Oh wow. I saw 138-139 End of 2OT online. But it was wrong!

Saw that too. Thought with that loss, we were all but assured of getting 5 or 6, with the clippers as the main obstacle. Now, Minny does have a shot as they only have Memphis and Milwaukee as tough opponents, relatively speaking. Don't sleep on the lakers falling, the have us, @ OKC twice, Dallas, and Hou. Had Denver won, they'd be a game behind Hou and playing them on the last day of the year for 2nd place. Instead, they're two games back in the loss column. Hou in 3rd would be ideal for the dubs to get the 6 and avoid LAL, OKC, and Den while only having to play one of those 3 if they make it the west finals.

yes but will OKC play the starters in both games vs the freethrowtakers?

westbrick is a complete moron. apart the fact that up 1 with 13 seconds left you might try to dribble it out and eat some clock rather than going striaght to the basket, but if you go straight to the basket you gotta dunk that one. then, not satisfied, on the other end commits an idiotic faul after being late on tghe closeout.
if I were the joker I would hang him onto the wall and leave him there for 1 week.

Especially with Jokic dropping a 61 point triple double with no Murray or MPJ. Westbrook missed a completely wide-open layup and then a last .1 second foul.

the only good thing for us is SHAI will play hard against lakers to get his MVP. Hope OKC win both games

[DB23]

I guess it is as simple as 6-1 gets us guaranteed top 6.

5-2 seems 50/50 with the wolves having a pretty easy schedule from here on out. That nugs win could be a killer
