Playoff seedings falling into place.....

[KingSpeed]

It means the teams listed for each number are still in the running for that seed. It's not particularly complicated!

The Blazers, for example, can still finish as high as the 5 seed or as low as the 8 seed. The Spurs are locked into the 1 seed. They can't get anything else at this point.

So, does the left side of the first rainbow indicate the #8 seed (somewhat dark) and the right side of the second rainbow indicate the #5 and #6 seed (sweetness and light) where the space between the rainbows (the darkest part tinged with purple) indicate the #7 seed?

Can we merge all these fucking playoff threads please. I usually don't care, but there are 20 of 'em!

 

[oldguy]

Beat the Grizz tomorrow and the team has 6th seed locked after tonight's Hornets loss.

Go Blazers

I'd rather swap spots with memphis tomorrow.

 

[jlprk]

With tonight's games, the Lakers, Thunder,and Mavericks are less than a game apart. Nos. 2, 3, and 4 could be in any order. We had Dallas sewn up and now we're losing that. Lakers sure aren't losing on purpose, because as of tonight's Mavs win LA is going to play us. Thunder won tonight too.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think with the Thuggets win, we can't be #5 anymore.

Thuggets hadnt won yet when I made that update.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gonna be a fun day of basketball tonight.

KingSpeed, just an ahem, your thread title is a little too risqué.

What is risque about it?

As of this moment, Lakers #3. Jazz, unexpectedly, beat NO on the road. Sacramento gave it a try but no chance against Thunder. Warriors folded vs. Denver. Hopefully do the same Wednesday.

Does anyone know tie-breakers between Dallas and LAL??

Well, you start a thread about your seed falling down into a place, and someone might object. Me, I have no objection, I'm young and vigorous, I spread the apple across the countryside like Johnny Appleseed, but you might offend some old prude.

Oh, did you see that too, Crandc?

Soooo ... the playoff seedings in the West won't fall into place until the regular season is complete.

Great thread.

No, I may be a lesbian but I have a clean mind. I thought of my tray of tomato, pepper and herb seedlings that I carefully carry outside to a sheltered place every morning and carry inside every evening.

 

[jlprk]

Me too. I thought of feeding the pigeons at the park. I always have some extra birdseed at the bottom of my pocket. The birds love it hot and salty.

 

[maxiep]

So, if you're the L*ker, Mavs or Thunder, who do you want to play? Here's my opinion:

L*kers
1. Hornets
2. Blazers
3. Nuggets

Mavs
1. Nuggets
2. Hornets
3. Blazers

Thunder
1. Blazers
2. Hornets
3. Nuggets

We, like Charles Barkley said have all teams not wanting us in the playoffs. I agree with him. Between Denver, us and NOH; we are the most likely to hand someone an upset.

Great thread.

This is great. For too long, I think, the forum went without a post critic. Now, we have one - and I can avoid the bad threads. Two thumbs up!

PapaG has an unusual scale. The lowest rating, surprisingly, is "Great thread"...but that's because it's sarcastic. The high rating is "Dumb thread."

Same goes for his rating individual posts.

You should try his fish. Yuck. He needs a food critic, bad.
