so in the west of course it's much stronger at the bottom here and and it does look like
00:04
to me that any of these teams could move spots between now and sunday i mean denver is the four
00:10
they have 48 wins minnesota's the eight they have 47 wins so when i when i look at this at least i'm
00:16
going to see some competitive basketball playing and i haven't checked the schedule by the way to
00:20
see who they're you know indeed playing this weekend i'm guessing they're not all playing
00:23
each other and so that is the dynamic where you had basically the nba is like all right we'll make
00:27
these games meaningful but i just don't know how meaningful they're going to be to the teams
00:31
they're playing against you know we do get clippers warriors sunday so that'll be a good one to close
00:36
the season with and you know all of these teams again there's a huge difference between finishing
00:41
that top six and not having the stress of in the play-in tournament something happens guy sprains
00:46
an ankle twists an ear whatever and now you're facing elimination and not making the playoffs at
00:50
all these things happen and we've seen them happen in the past so i think there's going to be that
00:54
sense of security that these teams are playing for to try and get in that top six and there's so
00:58
much left to be decided i mean we saw the other day harrison barnes hits a turnaround game-winning
01:03
three-pointer to beat the warriors and now the warriors things are up in the air for them again so
01:07
even if they're playing some of these teams i think the lottery odds are pretty much locked in as well so
01:11
those lower teams who don't necessarily have anything to lose for anymore can go out and play
01:15
freely and maybe play spoiler for some of these teams as well so i have a close eye on those games as
01:20
well some of these underdogs might try to keep things interesting and play spoiler late season
01:25
