Ant gets a tech, will have Sunday off work. Shouldn't be a tech though

They play the Jazz on Sunday, though. Can win without him.

That was a very quick trigger. Makes me think it was the magic words.

dr-thompson.bsky.social•80 days ago

I thought it was WAY too fast, too. I hope he doesn't have to miss the last game.

He said the magic word that starts with an “F” 🤦‍♀️

If they win out they are in the top 6, no help needed.

Jazz have the Timberwolves draft pick and can move up a few spots in the draft with a win. They won’t be throwing the game

dr-thompson.bsky.social•80 days ago

That's a really great point. I wonder if it's just the young guys going full tilt or if the Jazz play their vets. I imagine they are already locked into top 4 odds with their record being what it is.

They are yes, I still think wolves -Edwards > Jazz -Markkanen

Win and in. Win both games they are the 6th seed. Up to the 4th with help. Sunday game is against the Jazz. Drop one game need help. Lose both will be in play in.

Am I missing something? I know they have the play-in locked in, but they are listed 8th in the standing on Yahoo, the NBA website and ESPN. So if everyone above them wins out (besides Den losing to MEM tonight and winning on Sunday) would they not be 8th or 7th still?

I supposed the loser of GSW/LAC would be in a rough spot, too.

In the event that more than two teams are tied,the tiebreakers are, in order: division winner,record against tied teams,division record (if all tied teams are in the same division),conference record, record against top10 in-conference teams, record against top10 teams in both conferences, point diff

Swampy stuff

1) thank you for the help. 2) 👇🏻

Someone has to lose among Mem v Den GS V clips and MN will end with the better record with 2 wins plus tie breakers over Den and Clips.

dr-thompson.bsky.social•80 days ago

Appreciate the help on this!

lawnguyland.bsky.social•80 days ago

if they can't beat the Jazz w/o Ant then it probably doesn't matter

bjensen.bsky.social•80 days ago

They play the Jazz Sunday so they should be fine there
