Guys be really careful with your bets.

This is the time now where there could be teams that will try to lose games just so they could match up with a team which weakness is them.
One example could be GSW who may be selling their games for that purpose. Since they already have a spot in the playoffs they may want to go against a team which they could sweep in the first round and save their energy for the 2nd round.
It is a tactic which happens quite a lot and also might get wrong.

Just watch out.
PS: I am just using GSW as an example but I am not sure they are really doing it by now.

Isn't it against the rule to deliberately lose a game?

I mean if NBA found out that they are going on losing intentionally then they could be fine.

They still needed to be #1 seed to really game that home court advantage specially if they face Denver Nuggets? No?

Yes they need to. But they could play to lose a game just so for the 7th and 8th seed to be changed.

If there is really a rule for that deliberately losing a game then they are all guilty.
First, why are they letting their stars to not play the last games just because they are sure for a position in the playoffs.
That is already like they dont care to lose a game. It is just the same.

Second, they know inside that it is happening and it happened many times, just not obvious.  Grin
