We have the same record and we haven't played them yet, someone has to be in front. It doesnt matter who.
I think the record goes by loses. Even if we would have had more games won, the loses are the same and they have a better conference record.
TIEBREAKER BASIS: (1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division (2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage (3) Conference won-lost percentage (4) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference (5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference (6) Net Points, all games
We lost our only a game a few minutes before Memphis lost their only game and that's why they're ahead.

What RedDragon01 said. Rockets and Grizz haven't played each other yet so Head to Head is a tie. They each have a 1-0 Division Record so that is a tie. The Rockets lost to a Western Conference team, and the Grizz lost to an Eastern Conference team. Thus Memphis for now has a better conference record and win the tie break.
Wow didn't expect these crazy reactions, I was just wondering why and now I know. Thanks for the guys who understood the question.
Maybe if you toned down on your rants about the coach (on non coach related threads), people would respect your posts more?
Memphis is ahead of us because some sites use alphabetical team name instead of alphabetical city name.
