I thought that was the case. Can anyone confirm? I thought the only scenario where the lower seed can get HCA over the higher seed in the playoffs...
Yea... that 1 point loss against Spurs at home screwed us the most...
I think from the most probable to least based on the teams that are favored.. #5 seed #2 seed #6 seed (very low probability...)
I am taking that possibility out of my equation.;)
Added a poll.
So you think we have a better shot against GSW in the 2nd round with no home court than against Spurs with the home court?
If Spurs lose (and we beat Utah), we would get #2 seed regardless of LAC's loss or win in its season finale since we would be the division winner.
Saw that. I still believe we are good enough to take care of Jazz on our home court with Dwight playing, but I agree that we shouldn't treat it as...
If we get #2 seed, we would also be guaranteed home court if we advance to 2nd round of playoffs.
Agreed, but I must admit that the alternative is not looking so bad either.
If we take care of business on Wednesday by beating Utah (and assuming OKC beats Minnesota), it seems like we will either get #2 seed or 14th pick...
So should we hope that both MEM and LAC lose today, so that we can be #3 seed and not face GSW until the WCF?
I had it wrong. If Clips win out, we would be No. 5, since Spurs would be the division winner.
Never mind. Spurs would have the tiebreaker. You are right.
If MEM loses today, and we win the season finale, we will be No. 3 ahead of Clips. Division winner gets the tie breaker.
