    I was wondering what would happen if the suns win (which I don't want), and the regular season standings between the two result s in a tie. How do they chose who will go on to the playoffs? Point differential, conference percentage, ......?

    Two-Team Tiebreaker

    1. Better record in head-to-head games
    2. Higher winning percentage in conference games
    3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
    4. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
    5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference
    6. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed

    #3 does not apply to Houston/Phoenix

    In other words Houston is out of the playoffs if they don't win today.

    Not quite, we'd only be one game back, and one game back in the conference record

    Suns would be 20-19
    ROX would be 19-20

    It's not the end of the world people.


    And for the record...

    Someone from LA being a Rockets fans is a myth, almost as much as a Houstonian being a Jazz fan. Or vice versa...;)

    I didn't want to start a new post, but the one thing that is reassuring is that the team is really starting to work the post first, then outside. We've turned it on at the right time.
