    Looks like we're in pretty good shape.

    68-54 late in the 3rd.

    Oh man, it would be huge if NO loses tonight. With a win tomorrow, we can clinch 6th, allowing us to rest our guys in our last game.

    Down 70-57 going into the 4th. I NEVER thought I'd say these words, but "GO JAZZ!!!!!"

    Utah shooting 56.9% and NO only 34.5%. If NO loses tonight and we beat Memphis tomorrow, we lock up the 6th seed. That would be amazing!

    If Utah can hang on it will be some kind of atmosphere tomorrow night. Wow!

    It's crazy that at this point in the season, we can still go anywhere from 5th seed to the 8th.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Warriors and Nuggets are close. If the Nuggets lose tonight and their next game to Utah, and Portland wins their last two games, Portland would get the #5 seed, wouldn't they?

    Yep, because our head to head games with the Nuggets are tied. And we would have the better division record.

    Who has the tiebreaker between DAL and OKC?

    Only thing I know is that LA has the tiebreaker over both.

    Jazz up 90-73 with 1:22 left. This one is in the bag.

    Now, the Blazers just need to beat the Grizz tomorrow night!

    Even though they lost, New Orleans can still get the 6th seed.

    No--division winners win ties over non-division winners.

    So OKC can be ahead of DAL? Hm, I want DAL over OKC, but both would be okay for me.

    DAL losing tonight against HOU, and OKC beating SAC would move OKC to 3.

    Only if we lose both our remaining games AND Memphis loses to the Clippers AND New Orleans beats Dallas. If that happens all three teams end up 47 - 35 and NOH gets the 6th seed since they would hold the three way tie breaker over us and MEM.

    OKC as they would be their division winner (SAS won Dallas').

    It's not season series first? I though division winners are merely guaranteed top 4 seed.
