Homecourt advantage is up to us.

[MickZagger]

We win the final 2 games, were a 4 seed no matter what. Its all in our hands.

Yep. Also-- if we win the last 2 games, we tie our longest winning streak of the season and go into the playoffs having won 10 of our last 11. We can do it. I'm so excited. My only fear is playing Dallas in the first round.

 

[MickZagger]

7 of our last 9 on the road.

Amazing. 20 road wins. So awesome.

You sure? I thought if us, Houston and San Antonio finished with the same record, then we'd be the fifth seed without HCA against Houston.

Alex is correct. If all teams win out, San Antonio has the tie breaker on Houston, and Houston has the tie-breaker on us. Thus we'd be the odd man out on HCA.

Lemme get this straight, though. If we win out and Houston (without Yao, I hear) loses to, say, Dallas, we'd then get 3rd seed, correct?

(I was trying to find the other thread on this) If Houston and San Antonio both win out, Houston has the tie-breaker, correct?

So, then, if we all win out, the Blazers would end up 4th, hosting San Antonio the first game of the playoffs, correct?

I'm so confused!

You're right--Houston and San Antonio get down to the fifth tie breaker, which is record against Western playoff teams. Houston's is better, so they would win the division and get the 2 seed (by virtue of their tie-breaker over NW winner Denver), and we would get the 4 seed over San Antonio. You have everything straight now.

Perfect, thanks.
