Southwest division is combined 79-34. That's a .700 win percentage for the ENTIRE DIVISION. Worst team is 11-11. All 5 in top 8 in West.

every team in the SW is 8-2 or 7-3 in last 10 except the pels (4-6)

without a couple of long win streaks, 7 or 8 in a row, this is not going to end well

rest of December is brutal then jan/feb is home and east heavy. They just need to get there and then rip off some wins. Last week and half of schedule is all against playoff teams, so if they can get to 48-50 before then it will come down to that. If they aren't there before then I don't see it happening

Hell yeah. We going to the ship! Monty for coach of the year! AD for MVP! Ryno and Reke share the 6th man award! Babbitt for defensive player of the year! Pelicans taking over!

I'm reading on NBA.com that division win-loss percentage comes before overall conference win-loss percentage...

https://www.nba.com/news/features/playoff.tiebreakers

Edit: Nevermind. That's only if they are in the same division.

a. Two Teams Tied

(1) Better winning percentage in games against each other

(2) Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if tied teams are in same division).

(3) Better winning percentage against teams in own conference.


seems like that is the case. damnit I thought we were gonna make the playoffs


eta: nevermind, only if same division like ptm said. didn't read the whole thing. we back in the hunt

I simply do not understand why a Rockets fan would come into this thread (or this board for that matter) , do independent research to call the integrity of a poster's facts into question, and post repeatedly trying to stir something up.

I don't think it was anything intended to be malicious. there are plenty posts by rockets posters that are but this one wasn't that

Because ESPN has Phoenix in 8th...

That's what was confusing and made me look up the tie break rules for myself.

True, it is confusing..but either way, lets just say the pelicans are 8th.

SW division, every team is a top 8 seed, best division in sports.
