Good point. I hadn't considered this. I didn't realize his injury was that bad. Still, the Jazz have some serious road problems so let's see...

I thought about this but I wasn't sure who owned the tie breaker. So what happens if Dallas, Denver and GS have a 3-way tie?

Hey, what happens if we have a 4-way tie with SA, Utah and Houston? Are we at a disadvantage because of our poor conference record?

3 way tie means, GS is out. They lost both season series to Dallas and Denver. Denver beat Dallas 2-1 this season, so the 7th seed would theirs.

We won season series over SA 3-1. We split Houston but they have a better conference record. We lost season series to Utah 2-1. Utah split with Houston, but beat SA 2-1. SA split with Houston.

I'm not sure how that shakes out because that is really confusing lol.

Aylwin

Yep, it's confusing. It's still possible that we'll have a 5-way tie with the Hornets, Spurs, Jazz and Rockets. Or, we could have a 4-way tie with the Spurs, Jazz and Rockets. In both cases, I'm not sure what happens.

If we have a 3-way tie with the Jazz and Rockets, then the standings stay the same and most likely we face the Spurs. If the Rockets somehow manage to beat the Jazz and the Spurs lose to the Jazz then I think we overtake the Spurs and move up to 5th. So then we face the Jazz.

Quite a few things can still happen. I haven't even considered that the Spurs still have to play the Kings. The Kings have been winning lately and if the Spurs are still without Manu when both teams meet, who knows?

Of course, everything depends on us winning our last 2 games against the Warriors and Blazers.

Aylwin

Okay, if that's the case then I think it'll be:

3 - Utah
4 - Houston
5 - Phoenix
6 - SA

I'm pretty sure about Utah because they beat us and SA, and they have a better record than Houston. The next part is tricky. We should be ahead of SA because we beat them and Houston should be ahead of us because they have a better record. That's why I've put us at 4, 5 and 6. BUT, SA split with Houston AND they have the same conference record. In my opinion, that means tough luck for SA. However, if you consider the division record then SA's is better than Houston's. So does SA deserve to be behind Houston?

And if that's not confusing enough, what if the Hornets lose their last 2 games?

Tommorrow's games that play into determining West seeding.

LA Clippers @ New Orleans
Sacramento @ LA Lakers

Wednesday's games

New Orleans @ Dallas 7EST ESPN
LA Clippers @ Houston
Memphis @ Denver
Utah @ San Antonio 9:30EST ESPN
Portland @ Phoenix

I doubt the Hornets are going to lose at home to the Clippers. It would make things really interesting though if they did.

There's a lot riding on Wednesday's games. Utah @ SA is critical. SA needs to win if they want to stay at 3rd. Utah needs to win if they want homecourt advantage in the first round. Also, if Utah wins then we'll probably have that 4-way tie scenario. Obviously, we still need to beat Portland and Houston needs to beat LAC.

The Jazz will have a good chance against the Spurs if Manu is still not playing. However, there's absolutely no way the Rockets are going to lose at home to the lowly Clippers... not even the slightest remotest possibility.

Hopefully we play

dallas in the play offs because it seems more easier

cuz i dont think they did so good this year

worst than last year

Aylwin

The only way we meet Dallas in the playoffs is in the 2nd round, if they beat NOH. It also means we're 6th seed and beat the 3rd seed (most likely SAS).

Dissonance19

Well, things didn't turn out the way we wanted them to.
