So it appears we are playing SA or NOP?

Trying to do the math. If we beat Utah, we are 3 seed and play the loser of NOP vs SA. If we lose to Utah, we are 5 seed and play the winner of NOP vs SA. Or is there a scenario in which we play Utah. Help.

A WHOLE thread just for your random thought? Sigh

No scenario to play Utah. The worst seed to get is 5th since we have tiebreakers over OKC and NOP. Utah also has the tiebreaker over SAS.

NOP ? .. wow ... dream come true.
Maybe we will shoot 100 3s in a game !!! I just hate the way we are playing. Shooting all these 3s.

A whole post for your random thought towards someone you know can't see your posts? Nice.

This is good. A 4 seed, opening against NOP is what we can hope for

So, if SA loses, do we rest our starters? I say yes.

Some guy over at BE has been nice enough to go though all the scenarios (amazing that there are so many with only one game left for us):

I prefer a 3 seed opening against Denver. Nurk is awesome against Denver and we wouldn't have to win in Denver to win the series.

Wouldnt have to win in NO either though. ?
Id rather not have a losing streak into the playoffs.

I was merely referring to Denver's awesome home record.

Would the NBA consider that tanking?
