The Memphis Grizzlies laid an egg against the New Orleans Hornets tonight. This loss propelled the Nuggets up to the 3rd seed in the. Randolph, Conley and Gasol were the only players to show up for the Grizzlies while Robin Lopez asnf Anthony Davis put up double doubles. They allowed Robin Lopez to score 23 points, yes Robin Lopez. Anthony Davis grabbed 18 rebounds, absolutely schooling Zach Randolph on the boards which is very hard to do.
In order for the Nuggets to move up and get comfortable they needed the Grizzlies and the Clippers to lose games to teams they should not. They are now a full game up on the Grizzlies (2 in the win column) and a half game up on the Clippers in the win column. This is good since the Nuggets have the tie breaker so if either do catch up in wins they will not pass the Nuggets.
If the Nuggets grab home court in the first round they should win it easily. If they do end up with the 3rd seed, they would play either Golden State who is floundering since their hot start, the Houston Rockets who would be a good matchup or the Lakers who I would not want to play in the playoffs because of star power.
