Go Rockets, Clippers and Mavs.

Been a big fan of all 3 for a long time. The past 2-3 minutes at least.

The problem for us (and the rest of the West) is that Memphis' last 3 games are against East teams that may have seeding locked up already by the time they play the Grizz.

Last 5 Memphis games:

Jazz
Thunder
Raptors
Celtics
Bucks

If the Raptors win their next two games, they'll be locked into the 2 seed. The Bucks are already locked into the #1 seed pretty much, so that final game against Memphis it's possible Giannis doesn't even play.

You want to be pulling for the Celtics and Heat to keep the pressure on East seeding in slots 2-4.

Those 3 are all deep, well coached teams that play like a team. It's not like the Lakers without LeBron and AD. So it may not be as soft a landing for Memphis as some are thinking.

True, and the way Memphis is playing they aren't guaranteed to beat a good bench team. Still, I would bet on Memphis at least getting the 9th seed (which would actually be good for us since we matchup well).

I'm not sure you're going to see teams resting players in the bubble. It's probably way more important to build rhythm for your rotation than worrying about rest after 6 or 7 games.

Pulling for Rockets, Clippers, and Mavs? correct?

Big night of action.

Blazers vs. Rockets
Suns vs. Clippers
Kings vs. Mavs

The 3 teams that we are pulling against are all underdogs. The Blazers game is the most important.

The Mavs vs Kings game started at 1:30 pm (for some reason).

They're going to OT now.
95-95

Kings didnt score a point for the final 4 minutes.
