Don’t know who Portland will face in the Playoffs? Neither do we. Here’s a breakdown of possible scenarios:

1. Portland loses to Golden State

2. Dallas loses to San Antonio

3. Utah wins at Golden State and vs. Phoenix (back-to-back)

4. Denver loses at Phoenix

----OR----
1. Portland beats Golden State or San Antonio loses at Dallas

2. Denver loses at Phoenix

3. Utah wins at Golden State and vs. Phoenix (back-to-back)

*head explodes*

 

Hopefully we get this updated after tonight....

cause its still hella confusing right now, but thanks

 

I can promise you that tomorrow afternoon, around this same time, they will do the same and I will pass it on. This is nuts!

 

Are those necessary conditions (i.e., there has to be an AND between each one) or individually sufficient (there's an implied OR between them)?
(Never mind - it's kind of obvious that they're the former.)

 

So, essentially, whether or not Portland beats Golden State doesn't settle anything by itself?

 

The one clear thing is if you want to have a chance to play Phoenix, then you better beat Golden State.

 

Unless they lose tonight, makes it a moot (sp?) point

 

No kidding. I couldn't get through the only scenario I was interested in....how to avoid Utah (of whom we're 0 and 6 against counting pre-season).

Great original post of this thread, and after tonight, I'll take a look at it again.

I'm not sure who to root for tonight.

 

I posted this in a different thread. Yahoo broke it down much better IMO. Basically it comes down to 4 games. Utah @ GS, Den @ Pho, SA @ Dallas and Pho @ Utah. The list shows the winner of each game and what the seeding result would be.

 

Who knows! I'm so confused!

 

Your crazy! This shit you posted is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too confusing!

 

Was just told that after tonights games, the PR staff was going to send out an updated scenario.

 

Easy decision: Warriors & Suns!

 

Since this is the most likely scenario, we're screwed:

UTH PHO DAL UTH -> 2.DAL 55-27, 3.UTH 54-28, 4.PHO 53-29, 5.DEN 53-29


Just like like year when it was a consensus that we didn't want to play Houston, yet everything possible in the world to happen, happened, and we played Houston and got our butts whipped. It just seems like bad karma (the whole season has been bad karma) that we'll end up facing Utah, who's dominated us in 6 games this season.

 

we lost so bad they counted two extra games

 

He's counting the pre-season, too, as if that (or the regular season) actually means anything in the playoffs.

 

So if Denver beats PHX........ we CAN'T play PHX or UTAH!
