Game Thread GAME# 82: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - APRIL 11, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), ESPN & NBCSNW

When the Pelicans were the Hornets it would have made so much sense to make Utah the Hornets and New Orleans the Jazz. I had heard that hornets are pretty abundant around Salt Lake City.

Utah is the Beehive State. It makes too much sense.

The Lakers may very well talk to Orlando....the Los Angeles Magic has to be the target...Orlando can go with the hurricanes

I haven't heard that, but they are the Beehive State. The Mormons love the hive mentality and admire the hardworking honey bees who do their jobs for the benefits of the hive.

I think Saints makes sense, because the official name of the Mormon church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But hopefully they’ll be singing the blues after tonight.......

Even better would be New Orleans Jazz, Utah Lakers, and Los Angeles getting a new name more representative of the city like "Silicone", "Gridlock", or "Really-I'm-An-Actor".

L.A. Smog would be good.

Is this too long?

100%

It appears your 100% is actually closer to 0%.

2) From there, as you can see from the spreadsheet, it gets more complicated. The first and ninth scenarios (Denver, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Utah win; Minnesota, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Utah win) are the most difficult to figure out, as it results in a three-way tie resulting in the Trail Blazers getting the four seed and a matchup with the Spurs, though in that scenario, the Spurs would have homecourt advantage due to head-to-head record. This is because the Blazers would win the three-way "seeding" tiebreaker over the Spurs and Thunder, all of which would have 48-34 records, but not the homecourt advantage tiebreaker, which the Spurs would own due to winning the season series 2-1. There's been quite a bit of confusion about this scenario, as people are understandably under the impression that the higher seed always gets homecourt, but that's not the case. Please stop arguing with me about it.
