My concern is will the Lakers purposely lose to the Jazz in order avoid playing them and push the Jazz to a possible #7 against us at #2?? I am certain the Blazers will beat Nuggets at Portland on Weds. Or at least has a better advantage. But the Mavs can watch tomorrow's game between the Lakers vs Utah and decide if they have to win their last game or not. There are just so many scenario that can play out that it's still hard to determine who is going where. But i am certain that Rockets will capture...i repeat WILL CAPTURE #2 spot if they beat Dallas in their last game. I said this because i don't see Nuggets beating the hot TrailBlazers especially at Portland.
the Lakers don't purposely lose to anyone and Dallas is not in the position to "decide if they have to win or not" lol, this line of thinking does not represent the Team. The Rockets don't give the Mavericks a choice to decide on Wednesday. the Rockets beat the Mavericks. VICTORY
MHO, assuming all playoff teams beat non-playoff teams in next two rounds. 25% chance: If Rox beat Mav, and Hornets beat Spurs, then Rox face Hornets in 1st round 12.5% chance: If Rox lose to Mav, and Hornets beat Spurs, then Rox face spurs in 1st round 62.5% chance: Rox face Blazers in 1st round
i think he forgot how to write "rockets at dallas, game thread"...and also forgot it's clutch who will start it...
There are like 10 threads on the home page about hypothetical match ups, why not just post them all in the Simulator or Magic Number threads. . or even the other ones made, no need to make a new thread for every new possibility.
Well, I guess we'll see what Dallas is made of Wednesday. It might just be a sneak peak of what is yet to come.
Because, what if we think we're playing the spurs, but play the Mavs? or what if Denver admits they were doping and they're dropped down to number 7 and then Utah starts Boozer AND millsap and finish #6, but then Yao's foot ends up having the flu and we drop to #5, but then Portland decides to tank and drops to #8, but then the spurs bring back Drob and they rise to #2.....
