Melo's Answer

Fellas I was just looking over the standings and final senarios, there is a VERY good chance we could be playing N.O. but as the 7th seed instead of the 8th. Remember we were talking about how big owning the tie breaker was against both G.S. and Dallas well it was. Dallas has lost back to back games to Portland and Seattle leaving them one game ahead of us. Their final game against New Orleans. So it looks like N.O. has a decision to make. Do they throw the game and take and take a 7 games series against Dallas or do they try to beat them and take a 7 game series against us. My guess is they would rather face us than Dallas which will ultimately be a good thing for us. If we beat Memphis and N.O. beats Dallas we move into a tie with Dallas and take the 7th seed from them. But regardless we need LAL to beat Sac as strange as that sounds because if LAL loses the last game of the season we will end up facing LAL either way.

Here are the senarios for us.....

LAL beats Sac
NO beats Dallas
Den beats Mem..................7Den vs 2NO

LAL beats Sac
Dallas beats NO
Den beats Mem..................8Den vs 1LAL

Sac beats LAL
NO beats Dallas
Den beats Mem..................7Den vs 2LAL

The only possible senario if Sac beats LAL we could end up playing NO as a 1 seed is this

Sac beats LAL
NO beats Dallas
GS losses a game
Mem beats Den....................8Den vs 1NO

So we do want LAL to lose their last game under any circumstance. Best case senario is the first, we just got to hope NO pefers meeting us in the playoffs over Dallas and doesnt rest their players and throw the game.
