    If OKC and SA lose and Clips win, Clips are 6th right? They have tiebreaker

    Stotts smiled when asked about 3 seed. I think they’re gonna go for it.

    ZC, Rodney and Jake a combined 0-12 6 boards and 1 assists. Going to need ZC and Hood to do better then that if the Blazers are going anywhere in the Play offs.

    Clips OKC would each have 48 wins. Clips were 2-2 vs OKC. Both would have 28-24 conference record. Clips would have better division record.

    Trapping or getting closer to the level of the screen is letting the big get behind his defender. You're still having to rely on whoever the low man is to tag the roller who probably wont have the size to stop him from finishing, even if he gets there.

    You're also leaving yourself vulnerable to open corner threes.

    Yes, a more aggressive scheme limits dribble penetration, but your more likely to give up high value shots.

    All we have to is win against Sacramento. We have the Houston tiebreaker.

    Ah yes - like a fine tuned machine heading into the POs. Terry always has his team ready to play and firing on all cylinders.

    I remember Mike & Mike telling us (obviously a few years ago when they were still broadcasting), "33" is just the generic call for the 2 for 1. It's a signal for the Blazers to try and get a shot up at around 33 seconds left in the quarter so they can get at least 2 possessions.

    they aren't in the same division so the division record doesn't mean anything

    TIEBREAKER BASIS WHEN TWO TEAMS ARE TIED:

    · (1A) Better winning percentage in games against each other

    · (2A) Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)

    · (3A) Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if tied teams are in same division)

    · (4A) Better winning percentage against teams in own conference

    · (5A) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in own conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position)

    · (6A) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in opposite conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position)

    in other words, the tiebreaker would be (5A). Feel free to figure that one out
