I ain't drunk b/c I ain't been drinking and I ain't high cause I don't smoke weed but here's my lil theory:
Phx locked into #1 and will play #8 most likely Clips and then Phx if they win will play winner of 4/5 seeds. Meanwhile Grizz are locked into #2 and will play #7 seed most likely Wolves and then that winner plays winner of 3/6 seeds. Soooo, Phx can help determine who is 3,4,5 or 6 essentially tonight. If they lay down to Ws then that goes a long way to allowing Ws to lock up #3 seed and puts them away from them so Ws would battle it out w/ Denver in the 3/6. Meanwhile that puts Mavs as possible #4 and Jazz as possible #5 which would be great as they would battle it out as they've done all season and then Phx would get the winner off most likely a 7 game series half at altitude. Meanwhile Warriors are in another bracket battling it out at altitde w/ Nuggs in a long series then vs Grizz in another long series.
If Phx beats Ws tonight it may put Ws down to 4 seed or 5 seed as Mavs own tiebreaker against Ws and then into their own bracket. Would they much prefer to play Mavs or Jazz in 2nd round while Warriors wreak havoc in other bracket? I think so and so does my money.
Warriors ML +165 All In
