    What are you talking about? If we win we get the 3rd seed.

    Yeah, NOR is melting down to end the season. I really wanted them.

    Agreed. But now that we are playing Houston, we better win this game so we get HCA against the Rockets!!

    I'd like to thank the basketball gods for not only laughing as New Orleans choked but for giving us Violet Palmer.

    No, the Spurs will, thanks to NO's choke. Division champion is first tie-breaker.

    Really? I'm sorry, I was mistaken. I was under the impression that SA is now the #3 seed and our choices are the #4 (vs. HOU if we win at home) or #5 (vs. HOU if we lose on the road).

    They are guaranteed homecourt, but by virtue of us beating them in the tie breaker we finish ahead of them. No? They'd be fourth, we'd be third.

    No, the seeding is based on who is considered ahead in the standings. Division champ doesn't matter if the records are different, but in a tie, division champion is the first tie-breaker. So if Portland wins to end up in a tie with SA, SA wins the tie-break for seeding.
