PILLOW FIGHT!!!
Tonight in Los Angeles, two once proud rivals face off in a battle for 2015 Lottery supremacy. I believe it was Tolkien who wrote, One ping(pong ball) to rule them all, One ping(pong ball) to find them, One ping(pong ball) to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Both fanbases involved in this contest care mostly about the precious. Precious coming in the form of Okafor, Towns, and Russell. Denver's recent skit has put them at 7th best odds to secure the first overall pick in the draft. The Lakers hold position at 4th. Going into this season we knew the Lakers would be a joke. Currently there are only two teams separating us from The Blowtime Lakers. A win tonight, just before the All-Star break, would be a little sugar to help the tanking go down.
Prediction
Shaw plays J.J. Hickson 20+ minutes because Nurkic is easily gassed on night two of a back to back. Robert Sacre takes advantage and scores his season high. Against all odds, Denver comes from behind in the 4th quarter to pull out a victory dispite shooting 38% from the field. Denver wins 92-85
