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.

    Unless MPJ plays the defense we know he is capable of from last summer, he does not deserve 35m a year imo.

      I agree. Problem is who on that bench is deserving of those extra minutes? The bench has been abysmal this year. Like how in the 2023 NBA can you put up only 10 points as a unit?

      I definitely agree I but in general he and everyone else is trying much harder in June than a regular season game we are getting blown out in November. Also I though he played pretty well last night
