Forgot about the Spurs. What’s the tie-break if the Suns, Spurs and Blazers won out and Memphis loses out?

I think Spurs and Blazers are in the play in. We’re trailing both of those teams.

I’m curious if anybody at the NBA expected the complicated nature of these teams and the play-in. I’m guessing the first thing is that nobody really expected Memphis to lose so much, let alone the Suns winning all their games.

it seemed clear in the beginning that this was all done just to get Zion into the playoffs. That backfired. Lucky for them it has turned into something much more intriguing.

Nope. In that scenario, Suns and Blazers are in the play-in. Spurs would be out because Suns finish with better win percentage.

no way. They go into the playoffs as healthy as possible. They’ve basically got a four game warm up against Brooklyn in the first round.

Dame Lillard relishes the moment after dropping 61 to move into sole possession of 8th place with one game to go. He is the only player in league history other than Wilt Chamberlain with three 60-plus point games in the same season. pic.twitter.com/6KGF1pIRBy

One of the pleasant things about the Suns recent success is the (positive) attention they have been getting:

A lot of us, myself included, questioned several moves by James Jones over the past couple years, even as recently as the Cam Payne 2 year deal, but hard to argue against the results right now.

Nate McMillan confirms that his extension is 1-year. "I just felt that, that was appropriate for both sides. Normally I don't do any negotiations until after the end of the season. This has been an unusual season for all of us. Myself, the organization, the NBA," he said.
