    Yep. Just checked and the Clippers would have the tiebreaker over the Grizzlies if they both lost tonight and won their final game. They tied their season series 2-2 and LA would have the superior conference record by 1 game.

    We can not be No. 3 as long as the Clip will win their games, which is highly likely.

    If MEM loses today, and we win the season finale, we will be No. 3 ahead of Clips. Division winner gets the tie breaker.

    Never mind. Spurs would have the tiebreaker. You are right.

    I had it wrong. If Clips win out, we would be No. 5, since Spurs would be the division winner.

    As of now, we have about 85% chance playing the Blazers, 10% chance at 6th to play the Clips, and about 5% or less chance being No.2 to play the Mavs.

    Highly unlikely to play the Spurs or Griz in most scenario.

    The Clips winning or losing doesn't affect whether we play Dallas or Portland.
    I think we would prefer the 2 seed at all costs, so we need the Spurs to lose wednesday to the Pelicans. If the clippers win out, then spurs will drop to 5, and we'll avoid both them and GSW until WCF.

    You want Dallas in order to have homecourt in the first 2 rounds. Portland is the easiest chance to win in the first round before versing GS.

    Bring me Dallas, they need to taste defeat.

    Of course, the worst scenario for the Rox will be the Spurs win over the Pels and then the Thunder will lose to the Twolves, because the Pels will get into the playoff and we will only get pick 18 and also stuck at the 5th seed.

    But again, this scenario is very highly unlikely.

    If the Griz will lose tonight, base on their injury situation and playing against the Pacers which will definitely fight for their last game, the Griz could give up.

    That means even if the Rox will lose to the Jazz, we could still end up at 5th.

    That's why the Rox stay at 5th is close to about 85-90%.

    GSW could give up Thompson for Cousins if they don't win it all this year.
