There’s no way OKC loses a must win at home against Memphis.....right??

It still weird to me that all the games to tomorrow have a huge impact for us on seeding but the GS v UTA game tonight has none. Just feels wrong.

It has impact for Utah if they lose to us too but yes, no impact for us.
 
KingSpeed said:
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.

Oh, I didnt realize that...but okc will beat memphis
 
KingSpeed said:
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.

Wasn't awesome last night

Actually when the Jazz win they take hold of the 3rd seed until tommorow. So in an hour or 2 we will be 4th seed
 
If we don't shoot the ball well, we lose.
Seems really odd to me that players practice all year and teams a good part of the year, with games, and we are living and dying by the three and poor shooting percentage.
If Dame and CJ are tempted to play hero ball to show up the rookie and we don't get Nurk involved with more touches. 5 game losing streak going into offs. Amazing

We barely lost to Denver in Denver. In playoff series, we would have HCA and wouldn't have to win Denver to win the series. But this can't happen anymore since Utah won tonight. EDIT: yes Denver can still get 6 seed

I updated the first post of this thread, eliminating all scenarios in which GS beat Utah.

I would be more worried about ET and Aminu going 1-12 from 24 feet again like they did against Denver.,,,,then Dame and CJ playing hero ball.

Throughout his career, Aminu has been clutch in the playoffs.

Maybe, but tomorrow is not a playoff game. He is taking too many from out there. In the last 10 games he has been horrible from deep. (12-59)
 
So after tonight’s win by Utah, this has been cut in half now.

8 scenarios we get #3
6 scenarios we get #4
2 scenarios we get #5
 
It's pretty simple

Blazers win = 3rd seed
We lose, Spurs lose = 4th seed
We lose, Spurs win = 5th seed

It's it me or is this petty? Kingspeed goes through a lot of work to create a scenario list and then this dude comes in and posts one from a 2nd source. That's petty. Just because it's Kingspeed and HCP.

If this dude replies, it'll be seeing we've heard 100 times before. No uniqueness found there.

HCP - Petty & Predictable.
 
Looks like we can't face OKC. This is the following amount of scenarios for each playoff opponent.
7 SAS
6 NOP
2 DEN
1 MIN
 
Kingspeed after the Memphis loss "Definitely. Come playoff time, no one will care about this loss except for the haters."

My response
"Unless we miss the playoffs, lose home court or get a shitty match up because of it."

I guesd I'm a hater and a troll?

You bring up a great point...we need production from our wings for sure. It just seemed that when we were rolling both CJ & Dame were getting others involved and you tell they felt the freedom to shoot and drive which helps their confidence. Even Mo was slashing to the hoop more and shooting more. Players weren't standing around as much, however, like you say if they are cold and ineffective, iso ball with Dame & CJ, but they must get Nurk involved.

Problem is playoffs aften slow down and turn into more of a half court game. Making the best of the iso players look better in the playoffs.
Cj better come to life. Nurk will need to step up his post game like he did the p&r.
Turner will post up more too.
The key to this being successful, like you mentioned is wings hitting thier shots and movement off the ball. If we stand around and watch the iso, we will be doomed.

This is directly from the NBA. All tie breakers figured out. People are still arguing about who is playing who and who isn’t. This should pretty much answer everything. Petty? Trying to help with the confusion.
