With the remaining games left for the Spurs, Rockets, Denver and Portland there is a good chance that they all could end up with the same record. All that has to happen is that the Spurs, Rockets and Portland win the rest of their games and Denver loose their last game to Portland. What will happen then?
Well.. the Rockets would end up 2nd then Denver 3rd then Portland 4th then San Antonio 5th. Three-Team Tiebreaker 1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division) 2. Best head-to-head winning percentage among all teams tied 3. Highest winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division) 4. Highest winning percentage in conference games 5. Highest winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference 6. Highest point differential between points scored and points allowed
First tiebreaker if I'm not mistaken is conference record. Then division. I think head to head is third but not sure how that would play out four ways.
4 way tie at 54-28 Houston Denver Portland Spurs Well, the order might not be correct 100%, but Rockets will be second.
Here is the real question... If Denver and Houston end up tied at the 2/3 spot but Denver gets the 2nd spot due to a better divisional record.... then Hou/Den meet in round 2. Houston has the same record AND the tiebreaker, does Houston get homecourt?
Ok, let me point this out. The only way we will tie Denver is if we win out and they lose a game (most likely to come against Portland). If and when that happens, we get the 2nd seed because of the season series. Division records don't matter in ties unless the two teams are in the same division. So, we would have homecourt over them in the 2nd round if we were to play them.
if Denver and Houston are tied, rockets get the two spot and nuggets three Divisional record is thrown out cuz they are not in the same division its head to head and rockets won that 2-1
