Wait wait wait...hol up hol up hold the fk up! didn't Jokic throw games to avoid HOU

[QUOTE=tontoz;14750380]Uhhh... The 2019-2020 Nuggets finished with the 3rd seed, 3.5 games behind the clippers. Even if they won their last 3 games they would have the same seed.

They ended up playing Utah, who had the same record as Houston, so wtf are you babbling about?[/QUOTE]

18-19 nuggets....but nice try...they actively threw games in the middle of games, after seeing the outcome of other games. So they could manipulate where they were in the standings to avoid Houston til the conference finals. They would just randomly bench people for no reason in the middle of a game. I Remember what they did ...you cant gaslight me troll

no one is worried about the Lakers but Lebron fans

They were the 2 seed in 18/19 dumbass, winning 3 of their last 5 games. Jokic and Murray both played in their last game, a win against Minny, to clinch the 2nd seed

Reddit? That's your source?

:roll:

The idiots on Reddit must not have noticed that Denver won 3 of their last 5 games to clinch the 2 seed by one game.

losing to avoid a .500 team would have to be a first :facepalm

right so the nuggets play jokic 36 mins on a back to back to get a win vs the Timberwolves for no reason....its not to avoid playing the rockets in the 2nd round. No, that couldn't be it! Right because thats what teams do at the end of a season.....They play their best player thirty.....six.....minutes.......on.....a back to back.........................in game 82...............................................................................................because thats what all nba teams do at the end of the season right? They all run their star into the ground in game 82 on a B2B and play him 36 minutes for no reason. So they should do it again this year then......right?



They desperately wanted to avoid playing them in the 2nd round....They seen the rockets win a game so they benched their whole team to get out of the seed in the 2nd half of their game (cause the rockets game was over before their game was)
They played this cat and mouse game for a week trying to get out of whatever seed they were in if it meant playing the rockets in the 2nd round......So if they had to win the game they went all out to win and they intentionally threw games if that helped too.....once again troll i remember.....you dont....you are trying to use your logic from 2023 to explain this....you dont remember from that time period i do.....i rooted for harden....i remember troll.....i knew who he would destroy during that time in a series troll......i remember them actively trying to avoid playing harden at all cost troll......you dont, you weren't invested in either of these teams troll.....

[QUOTE=RRR3;14750363]Doing it again to try and duck the Lakers right now. Jokic is the MVP but a really bad look.[/QUOTE]

Nuggets have nothing left to play for. They have a 4 game lead on Memphis in the loss column. Smart decision to rest Jokic and their starters.

But keep thinking the world revolves around LeBron as you do.

You sound confused. Your OP said they were throwing games yet they won 3 of their last 5, 11 of their last 17, and still finished 3 games behind GS.

They had to win 14 of their last 17 just to tie GS dumbass.:facepalm

Again I say WTF are you babbling about?

Once again stop trying to use logic from 2023 to explain a scenario from 2019.... they were trying to manipulate the standings with 2 teams (blazers and rockets) troll.

You....do....not.....remember...


so just stop. You weren't a jokic fan....you weren't a rockets fan......you didn't even know this was ever a thing until an hour ago...you had to be there....in that time period.....at that moment to see what they were doing.....troll. They went all out in games for no reason....... to win to change their seed.....they would randomly bench players in the middle of games to lose or play a bad player a lot of minutes randomly to lose.....to change their seeding.....they did this for a week straight troll depending on if the blazers/rockets were going to win or lose their game. so they wouldn't match up to the rockets in the 1st or 2nd round

Manipulate the standings? They finished 3 games behind GS ffs. They had no chance to catch them.

So which games specifically were they tanking?

:facepalm
