That said, check you inbox.

Can you hook me up too? Thanks.

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn, we might be playing the Clippers

Looks like Nuggets

[julius]

I wonder if the Clippers found what the score was in the Blazer game and are like 'screw it, we want the #3 seed and play Portland"

 

[BonesJones]

 

[Hoopguru]

Dont count the Nuggets out. yet, maybe

 

[DDolla]

Look at Enes not rushing like Nurk then side step for a bucket

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas is down 17 points right now. I was wondering if they'd say "wait a minute, 5th seed gets the Clippers?"

 

[James lamphear]

Actually good timeout by Stotts look like might go on a run hopefully this stops that or course shooting foul helps to by them.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

i think it is a foregone conclusion that dallas will win against the tanking timberwolves. But sure, let's be pedantic and consider that scenario.

How’s that foregone conclusion going? Minnesota up 15.

 

[B-Roy]

Kanter is a mess defensively.

 

[Titan]

Looking sharp out there, maybe it will carry over to the playoffs

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

1. I think Kanter has defended Jokic better than Nurk.

 

[James lamphear]

Not as good 1st quarter still holding them down on defense.

 

[BonesJones]

So what happens if dallas and Portland win but denver and clippers lose?

It means that Dallas and Portland win.

And Denver and Clippers lose.

 

[brooklynballer]

Ideally we want a Clippers win, Dallas loss and a Lakers loss. That would give us a 3-6 Clips/Mavs matchup and a 4-5 Blazers/Nuggets matchup. It would also allow the Blazers to avoid the Lakers until the WCF should they get that far.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

People have complained about me posting my Tweets in here before.

Should I post these?

No, I complained about how your last haircut made your ears look really big. The tweets are fine.

 

[crandc]

Lakers and Clippers winning but close. Mavs down big.

 

[illmatic99]

@KSF-ERIC my apologies. You called the Dallas Minny thing.

Very confused about why they're doing this

 

[Hoopguru]

Porter is better than Gordon now.

 

[Hoopguru]

Glad we didn’t get Gordon, Powell better fit.

 

[brooklynballer]

Porter is better than Gordon now.

I actually think Gordon is bad fit on the Nuggets with a similar player (defensive minded PF) already on the roster in Millsap and even Jamychal Green. I think they weakened their team by trading away Gary Harris who fit this team like a glove as a 3&D wing. Time will tell.

 

[crandc]

Fuck, Nurk, make your free throws!

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk needs make his free throws he 3-6.

 

[DDolla]

Kent just said win and they’re IN. Hopefully we win because if we don’t, we are out.

 

[AldoTrapani]

It means that Dallas and Portland win.

And Denver and Clippers lose.

Well that makes sense

 

[Scalma]

Porter is better than Gordon now.

what do you mean now

 

[Serbian]

Are nuggets gonna pull starters at all? We playing great but nurkic sucks shooting FT and he must always dunk because he doesn’t have any finesse around rim

 

[DDolla]

We are going to lose a playoff game because of Nurk can’t make his FTs
