    I thought the Rockets were out? Guess I'm not watching closely enough.

    Speed, you're wrong about why the L*kers didn't play their guys that last game. It was all about the mental aspect of the game. They knew we were sky high to prove a point and Dunleavy didn't want to fight a battle and lose, so he waived the white flag. It worked because although we crushed them that game, we didn't get the additional benefit of beating them at full strength. In the playoffs, it showed. It was a smarter move than Dunleavy ever made during his tenure here.

    They are still in because Memphis still has 33 losses.

    Not one Western Conference Prediction Game player had Spurs with the 1 seed. The only part of the spreadsheet I'm able to complete so far.

    So as of this moment no one has any points!

    How on earth do you know that? You know Dunleavy personally?

    As for the Rockets question, they own the tiebreaker with Memphis. If Houston wins their next three games and Memphis loses their next four, Houston is in.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It means the teams listed for each number are still in the running for that seed. It's not particularly complicated!

    The Blazers, for example, can still finish as high as the 5 seed or as low as the 8 seed. The Spurs are locked into the 1 seed. They can't get anything else at this point.

    So, does the left side of the first rainbow indicate the #8 seed (somewhat dark) and the right side of the second rainbow indicate the #5 and #6 seed (sweetness and light) where the space between the rainbows (the darkest part tinged with purple) indicate the #7 seed?

    I think with the Thuggets win, we can't be #5 anymore.

    With tonight's games, the Lakers, Thunder,and Mavericks are less than a game apart. Nos. 2, 3, and 4 could be in any order. We had Dallas sewn up and now we're losing that. Lakers sure aren't losing on purpose, because as of tonight's Mavs win LA is going to play us. Thunder won tonight too.
