    How would you rank the playoff teams as far as who you would least like to play in a series all the way to most like to play

    For instance

    SAS < GSW < LAC < UTA < HOU <OKC < MEM

    Mine look similar to yours, but I switch a few due to matchups.
    Spurs/GSW are 1a/1b as far as not wanting to face them. With how inconsistent Portland's others have been this year I might put Rockets in that group too.
    The other 4 are in this order.
    UTA < LAC < MEM < OKC
    Unfortunately Portland will get GSW or Spurs in round 1.

    And we hold the tie breaker (2-1 in head-to-head games).

    1 in a million? So you're telling me there's a chance? YES!

    King, forget about OKC, we want Memphis to slip out of the playoffs and have denver and us make it. Not a better scenario possible!

    Technically it's possible....but extremely unlikely. They have 8 games left, the Blazers have 9....and hold the tie-breaker.

    If Portland finishes 6-3 (losses to HOU, @UTA , SAS) Memphis would only have to go 3-5 the rest of the way to finish ahead of the Blazers. Portland has a lot of home games left but their home record is not that great. They may get lucky and the Spurs game may mean nothing to them by that point.

    I'm just hoping that Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Indiana string together a few wins and finish with better records than Memphis.

    I'm guessing they mean that Portland AND Denver pass Memphis which puts them in the Lottery...and they they get lucky and get the #1 pick....which we own.

    Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are fake too. Anything else you need me to ruin?
