[QUOTE=Overdrive;14750533]Can you explain to me how giving the Pels a win will decrease the chances to match up with the Lakers if they believe they're the strongest of the 4 teams?
They sit Jokic to avoid injury and rest him in meaningless games.[/QUOTE]
I don't get it either. I thought the Nuggets would try to win the game to help the Lakers move up in the standings and end up in the 7 vs 8 play in game.
[QUOTE=RRR3;14750353]Ducking lower seeded teams is a sign you don't believe in your team. They won't go far with that mentality.[/QUOTE]
fortunately thats not what they were doing :oldlol:
[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14750459]Bingo.
**** em.
I now want these cowards to get the Lakers in R1.[/QUOTE]
what the **** are you talking about? you actually think the nuggets sat jokic last night because of the lakers?

Intentionally didn't reply to this thread earlier so that OP could see its not just me saying these things. Carry on.

Of course.
Its a harsh truth but you‘re stanning a cowardly ball club.
[QUOTE=Overdrive;14750395]If the Nuggets believe the Lakers are the strongest play in team it would be better to keep them at 7/8.
Mathematically if we asume the .500 teams really have a win propability of 50% the chances would be 25% either way. No, not because it's 1 in 4 teams.[/QUOTE]

Regardless, any Laker rival moving up, increases the chance of the Lakers missing the playoffs.
Where as if the rivals lost, the highest the Lakers would reasonably go, is 7. Which leaves them a game away from playing the Lakers.

Buddy all you‘re good for is shilling for Kawhi cause apparently he‘s always injured even when healthy. Stop the tough talk.
Nugz don't want ANY of that Laker smoke
Keep it a bean :lol

I'm shilling for Kawhi? Interesting take. But I advise that you go find whoever you paid to teach you English and get at least a partial refund because someone that knows English and has read me talk about how his reliability damages his value, that I wouldn't pay him the max, Tatum is better, etc., would not say that about me. I could actually understand the lack of insight if you just don't have a full grasp of English.

No chance the nuggets think this way. These are all professional athletes. The best 1% of the best 1% in the world. None of them think like this or else they wouldn’t make it this far.
Laker fans just love making every story about them
Newsflash: teams sit their star players at the end to rest for the playoffs
Unfortunately what the nuggets did yesterday has nothing to do with LA

What's really dumb about it is that they're is almost nothing the Nuggets can do about who comes in first or second in the play in tournament. For this to be a valid topic the Nuggets would have to be able to rig the play in by sitting Jokic for one game.

He's not playing against the Suns?
