Memphis plays PHX monday night and Dallas Wednesday night so we might get two more very important games.
With the Miami loss, if Indiana can manage to win the remaining games on their schedule, they get the 1 seed
Eye on Basketball @EyeOnBasketball 2m The Dallas Mavericks have clinched a playoff berth. It's down to Phoenix vs. Memphis for 8th.
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt 4m If Memphis wins out, it will finish seventh, ahead of Mavs. Grizz also have tiebreaker over Dallas. That would mean Spurs-Mavs, OKC-MEM. Memphis vs OKC would be a lot of fun
phoenix had it down 3 with over 9 seconds left (after a rebound and a timeout) because Ellis missed a free throw (he went to the line twice late, split both times) just a terrible possession. Resulted in an off balance shot that didn't even hit the rim. Embarrassing. 9 seconds is more than enough time for someone to get a decent look for 3.
I hope to get the Suns in the 1st round. Otherwise between Dallas, and Memphis, both can challenge a little bit, so it's 50/50 for me.
update 1)Miami/Indiana 2)Indiana/Miami 3)Chicago/Toronto 4)Toronto/Chicago 5)Brooklyn 6)WAS/CHA 7)CHA/WAS 8)Atlanta 1)San Antonio 2)OKC 3)Clippers 4)Houston/Portland 5)Portland/Houston Golden State will be 6 or 7, Dallas will be 7 or 8, Memphis and Phoenix fighting to get in
I want Dallas to get the 7, they have given OKC fits over the years. I doubt they would beat em but it would be some close games.
Thunder could've sat the starters some but they decided to go all out. They were 2.5 up on LAC Indiana hangs on, but it ended up getting tight at the end.
If LAC wins their final 2 and OKC loses their final 2, they can flip flop. If GS loses out, they can drop to the 8 seed depending on how PHX/MEM/DAL plays out for tiebreakers. MEM is in with a win monday night and then gets the 7 seed with another win wednesday night. Indiana beats Orlando and they get the 1 seed. If I'm Miami I rest Lebron the final 2 games and cruise into the 2 seed.
Same here. I hope Indiana gets the 1st seed and Bulls the 3rd seed so Nets' path to EC will be Raptors and Pacers instead of Bulls and Heat.
not clinched, mine was realistically realistically the Thunder have the 2 locked up because they play New Orleans and Detroit realistically a lot would have to happen for GS to drop all the way to 8, with them being a game up on Dallas and 2 up on Memphis, and Memphis and Dallas playing one another
Yup, and ill say it right now. The Nets will beat the Raptors and Pacers and will be in the ECF. Lets hope things line up perfectly.
I dont want the Pacers to get the Bulls, the Bulls are a good team but they share similar philosphies, but the Bulls do not have the players the Pacers have. The Nets on the other hand have a boat load of players that can go off on any given night and completely take over a game. I just dont see that on the Bulls, sorry.
Ah that makes sense then. Yeah the GS one is weird that can happen. They have consistently been right above the fight for the final 2 spots, but still if they slip up they're headed to OKC or SA instead of LAC. Granted none of those are appealing. I'm rooting for GS/LAC, MEM/OKC, and DAL/SA. In the East, ehh. Nothing looks too appealing. BK/CHI would be a fun rematch, but outside of that it's enough new teams where that is fun enough. IND/ATL will be the NBA TV series. Or, yeah. CHI and BK will get national TV. If TOR/WAS or TOR/CHA happens though, that's the NBA TV series that consisntetly doesn't get the national tv spots.
