How come know one is calling out Denver for basically attempting to do the same thing as the LA Clippers
1. Tanking: it's not just for losers anymore!
The Denver Nuggets pulled their starters at the beginning of the second half of their matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. They had good reason to. A win would have guaranteed them a first-round date with the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Losing, in a perfect world, would have dropped them to No. 4 and off of the Lakers' side of the bracket entirely. Of course, we don't live in a perfect world. Denver's best-laid plans were foiled by the Clippers.
