TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Conference won-lost percentage
(4) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(6) Net Points, all games

Memphis lose against Golden State, San Antonio wins the #2 Seed over LA as per Basis 1 and beat out Houston for Southwest Division as for Basis 2.

San Antonio wins #2 seed if they all win the next couple games and end with the same record.

Same thing will happen even if Houston loses and LA wins both, San Antonio is guaranteed 2nd Seed so long as Memphis loses.

Divisions really need to go. The first tiebreaker is screwing the Bulls right now, even though they swept the Raptors in the season. It just doesn't seem fair to me. Plus there is the ridiculous rule that keeps them in the the top 4. Portland should really be in 6th place.

I see. Sweet then.

Even with Westbrook's technical rescinded, playing on a back-to-back against Portland does not instill confidence that the Thunder will pull this one out.

Superstar treatment.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, I don't think he crippled Miamis ability to deal with other FAs intentionally and I don't think he was necessarily a dick about leaving either. There's just no good way to leave a team.

More importantly:

"NBA rescinds Russell Westbrook technical foul from Sunday night. He can play tonight against Portland." - @DAldrigeTNT

Predictable but why have rules in the first place then???

 

[RELAYER]

Seriously, he's lucky he wasn't banned from the league for life after what he did.

Isaiah Thomas, soon to be Sixth Man of the Year, has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Up next - Finals MVP.

Without the proper context, this sentence just sounds weird to me..

 

[eBay Huckster]

Am I the only one who's thinking "did I just stumble into parallel-universe 2010" looking at the last page of this thread?

 

[Shun]

Fuck I think I'm gonna end up killing ~2-3 months of pay to secure playoff tickets...

This shit's only gonna get worse if we move to SF. Way to gentrify your loyal fans Lacob + Bandwagons...

 

[TheSadRanger]

Speaking of playoffs who is going to do the OT?

2015 NBA Playoffs |OT| The Warriors come out to play.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

No one cares about the Bucks new logos?

 

[Doc Holliday]

I love that d Rose is doing some insane shit right now but I still wince everytime he drives.

He looks so damn fast!

 

[Face it Tiger..]

how about you post it instead of just bringing it up?

 

[Banana Aeon]

I need to temper my excited, but oh my God, he looks so quick! So much confidence too!

They got him on that LeBron HGH now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lakers signed a guy named Vander Blue for the last two games.

 

[neptunes]

Looks like OKC is going to the playoffs

 

[Syphon Filter]

Looks like OKC is going to the playoffs

How if NO is winning too?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Kings signed the son of John Stockton?

 

[neptunes]

How if NO is winning too?

There is no way NO is winning against SA

OKC will most likely beat MIN on Wednesday

 

[XiaNaphryz]

 

[Starphoenix]

Apparently Nick Batum was injured in the game. Is anyone going to be healthy by the time the playoffs roll around?

 

[LyleLanley]

The Celtics are back in the playoffs! The journey to banner 18 starts now.

 

[GhostWriter24]

New York Jets and Knicks -- winning their way out of #1 draft picks since 2015.

 

[detectiveconan1]

LOL the Knicks won!

 

[LyleLanley]

The Knicks can't even lose like a competent team.

 

[Syphon Filter]

dumb fraud hawks let this trash team win. hopefully hawks will be a first round exit.

 

[neptunes]

Hahaha, Knicks can't tank for shit

 

[Bread]

The Celtics are back in the playoffs! The journey to banner 18 starts now.

Yessssss

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Surprised you didn't bump the "Hawks have come out of nowhere" thread to make that rant instead.

 

[LyleLanley]

Yessssss

It's going to feel good having the Celtics beat LeBron and the Cavs in the playoffs again.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

This year's playoffs are going to be IN-TENSE.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I love that d Rose is doing some insane shit right now but I still wince everytime he drives.

You have to laugh at "experts" and "fans" that say he's done and won't be the same player.

He gets all this shit thrown his way for not SAYING the right things(which is silly) but his preparation is paying dividends.

He works his ass off, who the fuck cares if he doesn't tell the bandwagon media what they exactly want to hear???

Man, I wish I could get this much enjoyment out of playing 2K15

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

They should poll players, not casuals that watch casual shows.

(not ripping on Curry, either choice would be understandable)

 

[msdstc]

Celts are in. Welp this should be interesting.

 

[Brinbe]

When Steph and Klay are hitting they're fucking unstoppable. jesus.

 

[Crud]

Sports Nation is the worse program on ESPN.

 

[LyleLanley]

[msdstc]

Is that Jared Sulinger? Nope just another overhyped fat guy.

 

[random25]

One more loss Brooklyn! Better do some magic in your final game, Orlando!

I hate it when my team's destiny is partially in the hands of another lol. Better win our final 2 games, Pacers!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Nets got wrecked. Opening the door for that ATL IND matchup? Would be a tough test for them for sure after what happened last year.

Raptors probably have an easier game tomorrow now that BOS locked up a playoff spot. Gonna be interesting

I think you win at home against Wiz but @Grizz is gonna be tough when they need that game for the terror that is that West conference playoff picture.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol missed this post :jnc

 

[Brinbe]

Klay's doing it again, going the hell off.

 

[Gully State]

Klay Thompson can shoot the ball...

 

[random25]

That's why Brooklyn needs to lose one more to get us a decent chance. Back to back with 2 playoff teams can be a real challenge for the Pacers to win even at least one of two. If only we had the tiebreaker.

 

[Fjordson]

Klay with 37 at half :lol

 

[random25]

That Klay stat line...

14/17 FG, 7/8 3PT, 37PTS

Hope you guys make it! It was shit what happened to PG, but glad he seems good now.

Oh, and you guys would give the Hawks hell too, so that'd be fun to see ;o

 

[whitemex88]

It's going to suck to see Mirotic get 6th man instead of RoY. Just like it did with Ben Gordon

 

[WesternHeretic]

#FuckOKC

GS so fun to watch on any given night Klay or Steph can go off.
