0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, fellas, fellas, what's going on? Welcome back to the channel and the podcast. |
0:05.1 | And today there's four NBA games. And man, oh, ma'am, I'm going to be doing my best to break this down because we need to await a lot of injury news for today. |
0:13.5 | But we're going to try and do an if-then statement, if this happens, what you should do, those types of things. |
0:17.8 | Because look, there's four games today after having seven yesterday there's |
0:21.1 | going to be seven games tomorrow and some teams are going to be motivated to win but you have the |
0:24.5 | phoenix suns back on the slate the portland trail there's teams that are trying to get into the bubble |
0:27.6 | some teams that are trying to insure up their kind of eighth seed right now into that playing game i mean |
0:32.0 | we just saw dame dollar with motivation we've been seeing devon Booker with motivation just going absolutely insane compared to teams resting players or only playing them like 25 minutes or 26 minutes like Denver had done their last |
0:41.4 | game out instead of their normal 35 minutes run. So it is really difficult to kind of get a sense for |
0:45.4 | what's going to happen here because all four teams today have already clinched the playoffs or all four |
0:48.8 | games. All eight teams are playing today I've already clinched the playoffs. There's some little finoodling that they can do, but they still all play on Friday. So whatever they do today, if they try and throw the game to get to a |
0:56.7 | specific seed, they need the other teams on the slate to either win or lose. And then they also need |
1:00.5 | things to happen on Friday. So it's hard to really say, this team needs to win today so they can |
1:04.3 | avoid the Boston Celtics or lose today so they can avoid the Boston Celtics because if other teams win or lose, it doesn't matter. And then on Friday, a bunch of other stuff happens. So it is really hard to try and make calculated moves at this point, |
1:14.1 | at least for the teams playing today. So if you're looking for motivation or you're looking for |
1:17.6 | who is going to see motivation today, not much. Like Denver can move into the two seat, right? |
1:22.1 | They can move into the two seat and maybe. And they're a game behind right now, game and a half by the Clippers with two to play. So that's like their best bet. There's a lot of teams who are vying for the fourth and fifth seed that it doesn't matter. |
1:30.5 | There's no home court advantage. |
1:31.5 | So the fourth and fifth seed are playing each other regardless, right? |
1:34.4 | The teams on the east that are playing today, the pacer's, the heat, the sixers. |
1:38.3 | The sixers can't go higher than four so all three of those teams are either going to be the fourth to fifth or the six seed the six seed the sixers sat all their |
1:46.6 | players yesterday they don't have simmons they likely don't have in b today we don't have news on |
