    Or they might end up being decimated by the red hot Sixers or LeBron's Cavs. The East's playoffs picture is almost as intriguing as the West's.

    Thanks, I needed to correct that. Any tie between UTH and POR will give UTH the tiebreaker, I'll update that now.

    Welcom to the site. I actually like the jazz team. I really like Gobert and ingles. I want than to finish third. I think they are more dangerous than the blazers for gs and okc.

    2. OKC beats MEM

    Scenario #9:
    POR beats UTH, SA beats NO, MIN beats DEN
    Yields: (3) POR - (4) SA - (5) OKC - (6) MIN - (7) UTH - (8) NO

    Scenario #10:

    Scenario #16:
    UTH beats POR, NO beats SA, DEN beats MIN
    Yields: (3) UTH - (4) POR - (5) NO - (6) OKC - (7) DEN - (8) SA


    Looks like SA or NO is most probable, but if you want to play MIN, then scenarios #2 and #6 are what you need to root for.

    LOL No, you're cool. I only dislike bandwagon fans. It's great to know there is other fan base from other teams here.

    #2 has the highest probability with all home teams win.

    To avoid OKC in the first two rounds, UTH must beat POR.

    I like #6 the best.

    OKC will play UTH no matter what.

    Another reason to like scenarios #2 and #6 is that they force GS to play SA in the 1st round. I think that SA should at least win 1 game and could win 2. If Curry doesn't play at all, then maybe there's a tiny chance they win 3.

    My hope is that by the time we get to the WCF (knock on wood), GS has played 12 games and we have played 10.

    I'm pulling for Utah to beat Portland. The Blazers have limped into the playoffs and I don't think they would give GS much of a fight. I still want the GS/OKC matchup.

    Now watch Utah lose.
