The Denver Nuggets end tournament play with a 2-2 record. It’s impossible for them to win as the wildcard, as the Suns have a 3-1 record. If the Rockets beat the Mavericks or the Pelicans beat the Clippers, they have 3 wins and push the Nuggets down to 2nd or 3rd. If the Rockets lose and the Pelicans lose, it becomes a 2-2-2-2-2 tie and goes down to PD. However, Nuggets have a -10 PD, Rockets have an 18 PD, and Mavericks have a -14 PD. If the Rockets lose by less than 28, they have a PD advantage over Nuggets. If the Mavericks win by more than 28, they have a PD advantage over the Nuggets.
Man, I love this in-season tourney. It’s so ridiculous that it’s fun and even though the players know it’s not anything spectacular these dudes are so competitive that they’re going hard af in the games.
Basically playing for extra cash.
Tell that to gordon’s bitchass
I mean, ya’ll are coming off a ring season. I’d cut your guys a bit more slack on going super hard for a regular season constellation prize. Eyes on bigger things. I love your team and rooting for the repeat if Suns choke out yet again. Four corners gotta stick together.
Booker was trying to run up the score at the end of today’s game!
Massively improved their odds. One less bucket and they’d be below NOLA in the wildcard hunt.
The Suns needed every point.
