So I think most likely scenario ends up being the Lakers in the first round. They’re probably most likely in the play-in, and if not yet, the Clippers tanking will force Denver’s hand who will give Portland a win. I don’t think the Lakers beat the Warriors, and I don’t think the league in any way allows SAS or MEM to beat the Lakers.
Me tooI think a Laker team with Lebron and AD will beat GSW.
So do I understand this at all? I can't see the Lakers being our opponent in our first series. Even with all the NBA thumbs on the scales. Lakers will not be in the play-in. Nuggets do win. SAS out. We play Warriors. Not good for us.So I think most likely scenario ends up being the Lakers in the first round.

LAL are currently in the play-in. It requires Dallas or Portland to keep losing to change that. LA would have to win out.So do I understand this at all?

Assuming clippers and Lakers are good, then it's a bad seeding.If the clippers end up in the 4 seed and the Lakers end up in the 8 seed, which is super possible after the Clippers shamelessly tanked tonight to manipulate the seedings, the west 1 seed is literally the worst possible seed to have in the entire playoffs.
The NBA already has a problem with teams sandbagging the regular season, and - spoiler warning - it's not going to get any better after this garbage.
Nah, if Denver wins they clinch the 3rd seed. They have the tiebreaker over the Clippers.If Denver beats Portland they have a likely first round matchup against the Lakers. Doubt they want that but also the Clippers would have to lose against the Thunder for them to stay at 3.
My god i will be so happy is we get the grizzlies. And I agree that they have a shot at upsetting someone in the play inDon't sleep on the Grizzlies.
Timing on the whistle felt a little questionable.
I think LA will best GS... but it could go either way. Things took a bad turn tonight.LAL are currently in the play-in. It requires Dallas or Portland to keep losing to change that. LA would have to win out.
We should honestly be glad the Suns won that game at this point.Who was the foul on supposedly? No one touched him. Ridiculous.
I believe they called it on Gobert. Since he wasn’t playing that game, they’ll award him the PF at the beginning of a game against the Lakers.Who was the foul on supposedly? No one touched him. Ridiculous.
