Dallas is obviously the preferred matchup (3-1 season series advantage and avoid GS until WCF) but out of Portland, SA and LA Portland is the obvious best matchup. Spurs have been unbeatable lately (literally) and Wes Matthew less Portland is less dangerous than the Clippers
I revised the probabilities calculations to reflect these new Vegas lines: Portland 57% Dallas 28% LA Clippers 9% San Antonio 6% As you can see meeting the Clippers in the first round is no longer that probable with only 9% compared to 40% when I started this thread. What a relief!. It was fun watching these odds change with every game.
the folks at pelicans report (pelicans forum) think they'll pull it off. the folks at thunder fans ( " " ) think the pelicans will pull it off. the folks at spurs talk (" " ) think the pelicans will pull it off.
Pick your poison! I want no part of Chris Paul, Griffin or DeAndre on the road. At least in the first round.
Rockets lose along with... If San Antonio loses and Memphis wins, Houston will be the 6th seed and face San Antonio. The rest would be 2) LA Clippers, 3) San Antonio, 5) Memphis. http://rockets.clutchfans.net/8363/houston-rockets-2014-15-playoff-scenarios/
Thank you. That's the worst scenario for the Rockets. Playing SAS on the road and drafting at 18. Assuming that OKC takes care of Minny. By my Calculation this is unlikely at only 6%. 30% Hou loss x 40% SAS loss x 50% MEM win = 6%
I would guess tomorrow. Today is the last day of the regular season, Saturday is the first day of the playoffs.
Pelicans will pull this off. I'm just worried about the Pacers not doing it. I want Spurs to have the 5th seed.
I would not mind the Spurs falling to the 6th seed and facing LA Clippers on the road. I imagine it would be a long series.
I just would rather have Spurs n Warriors battle it out early on in the 2nd. I hate talking like this, as if we are going to the 2nd automaticaclly. I've done these jump to conclusions posts before.
