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.

    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?

    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.

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