    I don’t see the Clippers pulling away down 19 early vs NO tonight, but I’m curious what would happen if the Mavs beat us on Tuesday in that scenario- you would have all teams from our bracket at 2-2.

    It will be a crazy 5-way tie.

    In the event two or more teams are tied within a group, the tie among the teams will be broken according to the following tiebreakers (in sequential order):

    • Head-to-head record in the Group Stage;
    • Point differential in the Group Stage;
    • Total points scored in the Group Stage;
    • Regular season record from the 2022-23 NBA regular season; and
    • Random drawing (in the unlikely scenario that two or more teams are still tied following the previous tiebreakers).

    We should be in a decent position differential wise if we lose a close one to Dallas.

    with Pels win things have become clear and simple. We win in DAL —> we win the group. We lose —> the PELS win the group.

    3. Nuggets: 2-2 -o

    Rockets faces the Mavs (next Tue) at Dallas.

    So in case of a 5-way tie it's all about point differential.

    The IST is kind of a fool’s gold. Teams who advanced get tougher opponents while those don’t het weaker opponents.

    I still haven't cared enough to even look up how the tournament works, I've just gotten bits and pieces by osmosis. If we make it out of group play I guess I'll start paying attention.

    However, I'm a lot more interested in:

    -4 of the 6 Rockets losses have been by 6 points or less
    -The Rockets have the 6th-best net rating in the NBA
    -If the season ended today, we would be the 7th seed and in the play-in to make the real playoffs

    They succeeded in having role players give a shet about the prize money and the games are very close in most cases.
