This is good, but it doesn't take into account the Utah/GSW game tonight or the OKC game tomorrow. It appears that it's assumed that Utah & OKC win their respective games.

 

[illmatic99]

If we lose our last game, we lock ourselves into a matchup vs either NO or SAS. And if it's NOP, then we will have HCA.

Hmm

 

[illmatic99]

If GS loses tonight in Utah, they will guarantee that they won't play Utah or OKC in the first round, two teams they have struggled against.

They will face either Minny/Den/Spurs/Pelicans

Guessing they're gonna tank.

So the numbers next to the wins are the division head to head records? Has it the same for whether we win/lose to Jazz how is that possible? It has the Jazz in 3rd even if we beat them. So many mistakes

Its not good. Its riddled with mistakes

 

[Orion Bailey]

23 wins FAMS!!!!

Here's an official one in case people are skeptical about tie breakers, etc

Also if GSW loses tonight, the Jazz will go into the game tommorow holding the 3rd seed

How does Por get 4th if both SAS and Jazz win I'm confused

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

No, the blazers don't have home court guaranteed even with the 3rd seed. There is a scenario where both SA and Portland have 48 wins, Portland is the 3, SA is the 6, and SA has home court

 

[Chris Craig]

No, the blazers don't have home court guaranteed even with the 3rd seed. There is a scenario where both SA and Portland have 48 wins, Portland is the 3, SA is the 6, and SA has home court

What? HCA is not guarenteed for the Blazers at tbis point, but I dont see such a scenario. Portland won't have 3rd with 48 wins. The best they can have is 4th.

Yea you're right, but they could be 4th and not have home court

[stampedehero]

lol. All we had to do was win one game in the last week and a half.

A simple task that was never accomplished. I mean what are the odds going 0-5?

 

[Chris Craig]

Yea you're right, but they could be 4th and not have home court

How so?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Jazz 3rd PDX 4th SA 5th all with 48 wins

 

[Chris Craig]

Jazz 3rd PDX 4th SA 5th all with 48 wins

We'd be 5th

 

[KingSpeed]

Really it comes down to whether we win or lose against the Jazz and whether the Spurs win/lose against the Pelicans. If we lose and Spurs win its 5th place for us and a trip back to SA

Not true. OKC would have to lose to Memphis.

 

[KingSpeed]

With the second and third scenarios where SAS win and we lose...how are we 4th? Spurs own the tiebreaker after they owned our ass saturday.

Because if OKC is involved in the tie, our 4-0 record against OKC helps give us the best head to head record between the 3 teams.

 

[KingSpeed]

How does Por get 4th if both SAS and Jazz win I'm confused

OKC. If they win, it is three way tie. We have best head to head record between the three teams.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yea you're right, but they could be 4th and not have home court

Not true

 

[KingSpeed]

No, the blazers don't have home court guaranteed even with the 3rd seed. There is a scenario where both SA and Portland have 48 wins, Portland is the 3, SA is the 6, and SA has home court

No. Not true. If Portland is 3, they have 49 wins.

 

[noknobs]

Here's an official one in case people are skeptical about tie breakers, etc

Cool thanks. I love the fact that if OKC beats Memphis there's no scenario in which we'd slide all the way to fifth.

 

[Scalma]

So we have Home court unless OKC loses and SA wins?

If that’s determined before the game tomorrow, and we get HC, we should rest everyone (aka Dame CJ and Nurk)

 

[KingSpeed]

That is correct.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cool thanks. I love the fact that if OKC beats Memphis there's no scenario in which we'd slide all the way to fifth.

And OKC wants to win. If they lose, there are scenarios in which they fall to 8th.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Now I have to root for OKC?!? GROSS!

 

[KingSpeed]

Now I have to root for OKC?!? GROSS!

To get HCA without beating Utah, yes BUT if we win and Denver and NO win but OKC loses, we get 3 seed of course and we get to play Denver in first round which would be awesome. But we have to beat Utah for that to happen.
