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.

Break up the nuggets, send Jokic back to the Magic huddle.

[–] AmbitionExtension184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no not the completely meaningless IST! I really hope the fans don’t try to make this a thing.

[–] Dave_Pumpkins_01@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So according to your post they haven't actually been eliminated yet?

[–] CoupleOtherwise6282@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd trade our ring for just another shot at the NBA cup :(

Good it’s fucking stupid! League only matters.. can’t create relevance out of thin air

[–] Nfinit_V@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

God damn I hate it when there's basketball games in my basketball league; it takes away from all the basketball games

[–] rocket_beer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is just a promo so the owners get more packed stadiums.

[–] JJiggy13@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What does the winner of the cup gain? Is it money?

[–] famousevan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Half mil per player

[–] Seastep@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Guess we'll have to wait another year for a team to do the double.

[–] GameQb11@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's really wrong with the NBA that they need this? What's happened? Is it the players? The rules? I used to

[–] Nfinit_V@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

you want another go at that one

[–] bilzui@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

fade them

[–] davemoedee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I am looking forward to knockouts including teams people don't want to watch and the ratings being crap. Are people watching Rockets-Pacers finals/glorified exhibition game?

[–] KerchSmash@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn, all they have now is their nba championship.Sad.

[–] mattwb2010@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] rn_Dnmn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Truly shows how difficult it is to repeat as chompions in the NBA

[–] Adam-Miller-02@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

faded?

[–] Leebillysteve12345@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Meh whatever, the cup is meaningless

[–] michaelb1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I knew it. They’ll never win a championship. Jokic is bottom 5 center all time.

[–] jayelecfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
