Ideally I would have wanted to avoid the Jazz first round, play Portland or OKC. Then second round play GSW. Doesn't look like that is possible though. I guess now to get that matchup I'd really want to be 6th playing Portland 1st round, then GSW 2nd round.

Jazz might make the WCF. They can beat GS without Curry

yes

there is no difference if the pels play POR as 3/6 or 4/5.
at 3/6 (need POR to beat UTA) they would avoid HOU in 2nd round.

UTA will be 3 if they beat POR or 5 if they don’t

we cannot play the jazz until the WCF either way (assuming OKC beats MEM)

After Utah beats GSW I'll be rooting for

Pels over Spurs (obviously)
Thunder over Grizz
Nuggets over TWolves
Jazz over Blazers

You'd come out with
1. HOU
2. GS
3. UTA
4. POR
5. NO
6. OKC
7. DEN
8. SA

Pop and the Spurs take out Rockets,
GS could have a tough time with a surging Nuggets team,
OKC has the experience edge over Utah
Pelicans match up well against Portland as we all know.

OK UTA is going to win, so

games to watch WED

OKC/MEM
grizz aren’t even attempting to win so, assume OKC

MIN/DEN
with UTA win tonite and OKC win this game doesn’t matter

UTA/POR
this game decides our seed
If UTA wins pels are 5 and play POR if they beat SAS
If POR wins pels are 6 and play POR if they beat SAS
They’d be better off at 6 (root for POR vs UTA)

pels lose, they are 8

Since the Grizzlies have the 2nd worst record locked now, watch them come out and beat the Thunder. frick everything up

Thunder can't throw the game either for better seeding matchup because they'll fall to the 8th.

Matters as far as potential 2nd round matchup, one of these teams could give the Rockets/GSW a tough run.

@purple

you are choosing every lower seed to win?

No, that would be stupid. Just laying out the easiest way the Pels could go deep into the playoffs

The fact that we can avoid Utah if we beat SA and OKC takes care of business is HUGE.

Also I'm ready for playoff AD and playoff Rondo

So basically a win tonight matches you up with Portland. A loss means Houston.

Yes as long as OKC also wins.

I'd rather be the 6 seed and play Portland, but i don't see them beating the Jazz tonite.

Maybe the Warriors turn it up in the playoffs, but they don't look good as of late. I don't know if they can get past Utah in the 2nd round if utah is the 3 seed.
