    No, the blazers don't have home court guaranteed even with the 3rd seed. There is a scenario where both SA and Portland have 48 wins, Portland is the 3, SA is the 6, and SA has home court

    What? HCA is not guarenteed for the Blazers at tbis point, but I dont see such a scenario. Portland won't have 3rd with 48 wins. The best they can have is 4th.

    A simple task that was never accomplished. I mean what are the odds going 0-5?

    Not true. OKC would have to lose to Memphis.

    Because if OKC is involved in the tie, our 4-0 record against OKC helps give us the best head to head record between the 3 teams.

    OKC. If they win, it is three way tie. We have best head to head record between the three teams.

    No. Not true. If Portland is 3, they have 49 wins.

    Cool thanks. I love the fact that if OKC beats Memphis there's no scenario in which we'd slide all the way to fifth.

    So we have Home court unless OKC loses and SA wins?

    If that’s determined before the game tomorrow, and we get HC, we should rest everyone (aka Dame CJ and Nurk)

    And OKC wants to win. If they lose, there are scenarios in which they fall to 8th.

    To get HCA without beating Utah, yes BUT if we win and Denver and NO win but OKC loses, we get 3 seed of course and we get to play Denver in first round which would be awesome. But we have to beat Utah for that to happen.
