    No whoever wins tomorrow is the 3rd seed. Sadly, Portland hasn't shown us any reason to believe they will win lately, though.

    No just right now as the Jazz beat the GSW to tie our record. Since they have the series tiebreaker they get 3rd. We can win it back tomorrow.

    Worst thing that can happen, Spurs wins and Blazers lose tomorrow. Blazers on a 5 game losing streak and lose home court advantage with the Spurs. Blazers drops the first two games in San Antonio so that’s a total of 7 game losing streak.

    I guess I want the Pelicans but AD is a matchup nightmare for us (and everyone else).

    Not if OKC wins. If we lose and Spurs and OKC win, we are 4 seed and have HCA.

    We could still end up playing Minnesota or Denver.

    Without looking at anything and going off of memory.
    Portland has a better record in the conference than the Pelicans.
    Therefore Portland owns the tiebreaker.

    Again that's without looking at anything, and going off of pure memory.

    In all these scenarios, top seed gets HCA. In past, a division winner could get a higher seed and not have HCA. That is no longer the case. If Portland has 4 seed, they have HCA.

    As I recall the playoff seeding has nothing to do with the draft. We still flip a coin for the draft tie breakers. So theoretically by tanking the last week, we keep HC and still play the team we wanted to in the first round and possibly move up 5 spots in the draft? Fucking genius! Go Jazz!
