    You know how players sometimes throw up a shot after a whistle is blown or a timeout is called and a player on the other team goes up to block the shot from going in? Garnett does this a lot for example.

    Well, Kevin Martin just picked up a foul and the ball ended up in Mike Conley's hands. He decided to take a shot at his own basket just for the heck of it and Rudy Gay comes over and swats him. :D

    I'm sure that's happened before but it looked pretty funny.

    Matched up with Portland right now if the playoffs started today.

    It's going to be crazy to see how everything ends up.

    ESPN standings have been wrong before, I always check NBA's first.

    Doesn't matter though we haven't played a game in a while...kinda boring :(

    Well now we're matched up against the Jazz. Sorry if i misread the information.

    Didn't mean to suggest one way or the other. Just a quick observation. :)

    We are the #3 seed due to us owning a 3-1 record against Denver. Division winners are only guaranteed a top 4 spot, and the Nuggets have the fourth best record.

    It'll be fixed on ESPN tomorrow. They probably don't have all the tie breaker scencarios built into their automated system.

    In fact ESPN had that wrong formula for SEASONS already. You may sell your spreadsheet to them at the end of the season. ;)

    It is like they are following us or something. It might be destiny...

    I covered this in the Magic Number thread here

    http://www.nba.com/statistics/playoff_picture.html

    If you read a bit further down in that link, it talks about how to rank seed 1-4 and 5-8.
    We are the #3 seed according to those rules.

    I really think this is just a case of the automated standing being wrong. I've seen it before when there are multiple team tie breaks.

    I had to manually override my system to put the Rockets #3 (where they should be) because it uses the ESPN standing as a basis.

    Well you're right about Nate but CP3 seems to have to test his ego against any other PG that dares questions his superiority.

    Wasn't really surprised with those two.
