    What are the chances of a 3 team tiebreaker?

    Denver gets to choose whether to play OKC or Spurs.

    I think Denver is definitely going to win, they get the Spurs instead of OKC and have still home court against us in the 2nd round eventually, there's no way they give up that and go against OKC just to avoid the Spurs.

    I feel like there's a better chance the aliens will attack the Earth tommorrow tbh.

    Denver beat OKC all 4 times this year...but lost 2 out of 3 to the Spurs.
    So, maybe its better for Denver to lose today to match up with OKC instead of Spurs?

    Ugh. Well at least I get to enjoy the ass kicking of OKC, finally.


    CP3 will get hurt. It’s practically a guarantee. Hopefully it’s somehow before the conclusion of the WCF, but I doubt it.

    We'll see soon, but for me it makes no sense, even though the matchups are differents from team to team, i don't see why Denver should give up home court in the 2nd round (which has a good chance to be against their worst matchup) and face OKC now, just to avoid an old team like the Spurs, i just can't see that happening, also cause they know the Rockets will probably struggle and wear down more against the Thunder, if they let Houston play OKC they'll eventually get to play a more tired Rockets team, and with home court advantage.

    And btw Denver is playing all their starters so, yeah, they want to win.

    Blazers starting lineup for this game:

    Sam Bowie
    Greg Oden
    Martell Webster
    Sebastian Telfair
    Meyers Leonard (Still Active because of his massive potential in games like tonight)

    Blazers are taking this seriously, folks.

    3rd --> OKC/Denver

    According to CF, they'll never see Denver because they'll lose to OKC in the 1st. :)

    4th --> Utah/Golden State

    But if they take 4th, they'll see Golden State 2nd and the NBA will not let the Warriors lose in the 2nd round. :p

    I'm calling it early but I think the Blazers are going to lose. After a hot start that team is falling down to earth. It just has no talent out there whatsoever.

    I guess Portland is playing for the 2nd round knockout courtesy of GS.
