Not sure why Rondo is playing, he's as important as Kawhi and PG to this team.

This makes zero sense. Why are we tanking this game. Dont we want to be the 3 seed. Stupid Lue. I am not a fan of his coaching style but I dont think the GM has helped him with the pieces that they have added.

To avoid any chance of being stuck with the Lakers in the first round, obviously.

They don’t want Denver to control their outcome of 6th seed which is Lakers.

If you think the league and refs are letting their biggest cash cow lose in the first round, you're out of your mind. Even without that, it's beyond stupid to face Playoff LeBron in the first round if you can avoid it.
