The University of Denver Pioneers are NCAA champions for a record 10th time.

2-0 is the final.

Matt Davis is a Colorado hockey legend.

Great breakdown here. So damn confusing. Bottom line for Denver: prepare for Zion.

Oh man, what a trap here.

OK, so Lakers might prefer Pels to Suns in the 7-8. They would need Suns beat Wolves and Lakers beat Pels. That makes it 6. Suns 7. Pels.

BUT if they do that, and Thunder beat Mavs who have already said they're resting everyone and are 18.5-point…

Y'all gotta read Bennett. He's always on it. I mean look at this opening line 😂

Devonte’ Graham broke the NBA tiebreaker system on his way to Cancun and left the Western Conference standings in flames behind him.

A thorough breakdown of the Nuggets' playoff situation from Bennett Durando.

Long story short, Denver now needs a fair amount of help.

denverpost.com/2024/04/13/nug…

The Nuggets led 81-60 with 8:16 left in the 3rd quarter last night. The Spurs scored on their next eight possessions. They scored on 26 of 40 possessions the last 20ish minutes of the game (excluding a 3Q full-court heave) for 1.525 PPP. They doubled their score during that time.

It certainly feels like the most brutal path Denver could feasibly end up with is:

• 3-seed
• first round vs. Phoenix
• second round at Minnesota
• WCF at Oklahoma City or vs. Dallas/LAC

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

what happens is that you break the tie for division winner and then reset. so denver's not 3rd because they are 3-5, but because OKC wins with 5-3 and then it resets for Denver and Minnesota and Denver loses that too.

But the result is the same. I just…

Peyton Watson: “I think we just took our foot off the gas in terms of intensity. I feel like we felt like we were gonna win no matter what, and there was no possible way that we could lose this game, which I don’t understand.”

If the Nuggets win this game vs. OKC, they’re in first place, and Minnesota wins the tiebreaker over OKC for second place. But it’s a goofy hypothetical. If you want to play that game, play it with the one where Denver *choked a 23-point lead vs. the worst team in the West.*

Minnesota survives Atlanta.

Here are the West standings.

1. Thunder, 56-25
2. Timberwolves 56-25
3. Nuggets 56-25

And the Mavericks are locked in as the 5 after tonight, so they might not even play anybody vs. OKC on Sunday. The Thunder might’ve just pick-pocketed the 1-seed.

The Spurs might've just ended the Nuggets' one-seed bid. Unbelievable.

Nuggets 109, Spurs 104. Michael Malone is unhappy.
