We are on the last day of the season now. Here's what's going on... get in the chat for latest updates. The Bulls and Pistons are exactly tied for the 8th spot in the East with a 32-49 record. They play each other right now, and we are doing this live, for the right to go to the playoffs. If you want to see this game, or if you are GB or Castor, get in here! The real excitement is in the West. Here's the deal... There are only two spots available for these teams, and 5 in the running. Here is how things currently stand, going into the final day. The Grizzlies and Clippers are already through with their seasons. If multiple teams tie for the 8th spot, I have no clue how it will be determined... by the NBA rules I assume. 7. Grizzlies-- 43-39 8. Sonics-- 42-39 8. Kings-- 42-39 9. Clippers-- 42-40 10. Suns-- 41-40 11. Lakers-- 40-41 (mathematically eliminated). If you are a Western team, we will finish your games in about an hour from now... if you want to hear about them first thing get in the chat.
A thriller in the East Final... Pistons have multiple chances to tie in the last 40 seconds, but all misses, including an Iverson miss at the buzzer, and the Bulls win 96-93. The Bulls are the East's 8th seed. Now to the West...
Unbelievably, there was a 4-way tie in the West for the last seed. The Kings, Sonics, Clippers, and Suns all finished the season with identical 42-40 records. However, because of better records in conference and division, the Clippers win the 8th spot in the playoffs. The final standings will be posted shortly.
