Win --> 4th or 5th



I think the only way we get 5th is if we win AND:
Utah beats GSW
POR beats Utah

So we're definitely rooting for GS tomorrow

Contradicted yourself here. Utah plays GS tomorrow.

ETA: unless you meant rooting for 4th seed

Does the NBA not have a playoff simulator like the NFL where you can pick the results for the remaining regular season games and see where everyone gets seeded in playoffs?

I don't want 5th so we need Utah to lose to GS, meaning no matter what happens between Utah/Por on Wed we are 4th with a win vs SA

Full Breakdown:

Pels 4th seed: Pelicans beat the Spurs and Utah goes 0-2. Assuming OKC beats MEM, First round opponent is OKC.

Pels 5th seed: Pelicans beat the Spurs, OKC loses, and Utah wins 1 of their last 2

Pels 6th seed: Pelicans beat the Spurs and Utah goes 2-0. 3-way tie between POR, NOP, & OKC settles by conference record. First round opponent is UTA

Pels 6th seed: Pelicans beat the Spurs, OKC beats MEM, UTA beats GSW and loses to POR. 3-way tie between UTA, NOP, & OKC goes to conference record. First round opponent POR

Pels 6th seed: Pelicans beat the Spurs, OKC beats MEM, Utah loses to GSW and beats POR. 4-way tie between UTA, POR, NOP, and OKC goes to conference record. First round opponent is UTA

Pels 7th seed: Pelicans lose to the Spurs and OKC loses to MEM

Pels 8th seed: Pelicans lose to the Spurs and OKC beats MEM


EDIT: sorry pelibros I think I’ve got it right this time. Damn my brain hurts

If Utah goes 2-0, they’re 49-33 and are guaranteed the three seed. That would also guarantee that PDX is 48-34. If Pels win vs. Spurs, they’re also 48-34. Why wouldn’t the Pels have the tiebreaker over Blazers with the better divisional record? They’d also win the tiebreaker over OKC with the head-to-head.

No problem. You can still make it it’s own thread if you want. It’s relevant enough


But basically we either want Utah to go 2-0 or 0-2

Lol I was mapping out every scenario in my head. But that one was the toughest for me to figure out. Please fact check me

NO would get tiebreaker in a 3 way tie btwn OKC and POR. I don't see how we finish 6th. Only way we finish 5th is if we are tied with Utah

Playoff predictor websites I found say that's right...

That only way we get 4 seed is if Utah goes 0-2. No scenario where we finish seeded ahead of Portland.

The biggest game of the season is Wednesday. Win and the Pels have a chance at a 1st round series win.

Lose and you're playing Houston and likley winning 1 game in the series.

Actually, the divisional tiebreak only applies to teams in the same division. You’d skip to conference records, which would put Pels behind Portland and OKC. So my last post was incorrect.

jazz currently -280 tomorrow vs warriors. if they win that and we beat spurs, then our fate comes down to that late jazz @ blazers game wed. night. we'd be rooting HARD for utah. in that scenario, jazz win and we play portland. portland wins and we play jazz......i think

Pels fans shouldn't care what other teams are doing the next two nights now. None of that matters if they can't beat the Spurs.

All of this hype could be spoiled with a Spurs loss then a sweep from the Rockets. Just need to play someone other than GS and HOU
