The Race for Eighth

[KSF-ERIC]

The Pelicans are playing too well now; it's better if Spurs beat them, I think.

I agree. Go Spurs.

Hello,

just one kindly question, if we will have same score with these teams:

Mem
Spurs
NOP
Pho

Where we have advantage and where not?

Thank you...

Not every team is playing the same amount of games so it's winning percentage. For example, we play one more game than the Griz so there will be no tie. Also, if the Griz go 1-1 and we go 2-1 we will end up with the better winning percentage

I think your question is about if we have the same record as those teams would we have an advantage. The thing is we will have played more games than all of those teams so there is no way we can have the same record as them. If we are the same games below .500 as any of those teams then we will have the better win percentage so we will be the higher seed, so in that way we have the advantage but we can't tie with anyone.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

A player people aren't really talking about who has played really well in the bubble is Derek White

 

[CupWizier]

Wow, Redick takes two charges in a row. We really need a guy like that on our team.

Can I introduce you to Gary Trent jr. He could be similar to Redick but a better defender.

Thanks! I thougt we will play same amount of matches with everyone... Now its clear.

I think we could beat SA if we only had to get one win in the play-in but I don't know about two in a row. The fact remains we just have to win out so we either get to play the depleted Grizz who we can beat two times in a row, or we get two shots against most likely the Spurs or Suns.

Thanks, its clear now, i got two of your replies.. Thanks again!

He's 36 years old right now....that's older than Melo..older than Lamarcus..I don't think he's our answer when we have a 20 year old 3 and D guy in Trent and Hood coming back

 

[Hoopguru]

Green is an idiot for making those comments about Booker.

Yeah, not sure why they chose to have teams play different number of games. Teams going in playing less games should have had to play more games to catch up as obviously the teams that have played the most games had a more condensed schedule before the break.

Yeah and maybe they should have tried to mimic remaining strength of schedule instead of just matching up teams that would have played each other again had the season gone on uninterrupted, totally disregarding the games that would have been played against the worst teams in the league.

Popovich showing why he's a HOF coach

 

[B-Roy]

New Orleans is pretty much out of it.

 

[Titan]

We still have chance at 8th seed, hope we can finish 3-0 to get the best shot at it. Would rather have to win 1 play in game.

 

[ehizzy3]

 

[kjironman1]

Been atrocious.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yea it’s pretty safe to say he’s been a huge bust

 

[BigGameDamian]

Been atrocious.

What's his daddy say?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

What's his daddy say?

He's bustin' the league!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

a guy like him with the fire and energy and smarts, not necessarily him.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

The only thing worse than Ball’s play are his tattoo’s lol

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Gary is a much better onball defender than Redick. He is so busy guarding the other team's best, he doesn't have time to take charges.

Stotts won today too. I guess he's showing why he's a HOF coach too.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So we want Utah to beat Dallas tomorrow. Then Dallas has nothing to play for against us. Also a Suns loss to OKC tomorrow afternoon would be nice.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

A Brooklyn win tonight clinches the 7th seed in East so they'll have nothing to play for against us.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Life is pretty simple. If Memphis loses to either Boston or Milwaukee, all we have to do is win our two games and we're 8th.

 

[Titan]

Maybe we win out and so do the suns and we play each other in the play in. I think Memphis has to lose out though
