Huh? Hadn't heard that one somehow. If true, I take it back CJ.

LeVert got everything he wanted going to the basket all night long. Not sure about that final possession.

I don't care if Lillard was guarded by 5 people there, he should've had the ball in their final possession. Melo miss almost cost them the season.

LeVert lolololol. They trading your ass in the offseason.

Levert/Kyrie minutes together this year were really bad.

Dude Melo is such a bum. But imagine how nervous PHX and Portland fans were on that last possession, that stop was for their season.

I'm intensely annoyed that we still have important games to watch before the postseason even starts. I need a rest to reset my frayed nerves before we suit up again, and I won't get it.

On the one hand, this means the bubble set up was a real success, in terms of dramatic presentation.
On the other, why couldn't you have just won one stinking game, Bucks?

I could totally have missed something, I thought bubble teams were locked into their spots based on record?

Yup, just did some reading. For some reason I thought bubble non playoff teams couldn't move up

Non-playoff teams can't move from their spot pre-shutdown. Grizzlies had 14th worst record pre-shutdown so if they don't win the play-in, they stay at 14. Suns had 10th worst record pre-shutdown, so they stay at 10 even if Spurs, Kings, and Pelicans ended up having worse records than them post-bubble games.

Forsberg needs an editor for his tweets. He totally misspelled "manifest destiny to vault to top 4 spot".

So they can or can't be drawn in the lottery?

Oh, was that what you meant? Can non-playoff bubble teams move up to top 4 in the draft lottery?? Yes, they can move up.
