    Blazers win = 3rd seed
    Blazers lose, Spurs lose = 4th seed
    Blazers lose, Spurs win = 5th seed

    Ya that's not right. Spurs game doesn't matter to us as much as the OKC game. As long as OKC wins, we get HCA

    Yeah..That is logical. All we had to do was beat one out of the 5 losses. It feels like the '64 Phillies team that had it locked up and fucked up their own destiny.

    I wanted this until we played them again. Now I don't want this at all.

    I just read half this thread. My head is about to explode.
    I need to go lay down.

    I think you linked to a breakdown from 2010 that still references division winners automatically getting seeded in the top 4. I'm not putting any stock in that.

    Tiebreak procedures are also listed at the bottom of NBA.com's "playoff picture" page.

    I don’t see anything about home court tiebreakers, just seeding. I hope you’re right though because the scenario I listed sucks.

    True. I'm assuming that they no longer mention anything about home court vis-à-vis seeding because they changed the seeding procedure to eliminate all the anomalies that would lead to seeding and home court disparities (such as auto-seeding division winners 1-4).

    The scenario chart I posted is from the NBA. Why are you guys still arguing? Everything is right there. That has figured out all the tie-breakers right there.

    This is a crazy new twist for me! I'm feeling much better about HCA. I'm trusting you that this is right, because it doesn't seem like it should be.

    First off, not sure why you are coming at me as if I did something wrong, “smart guy”? Really?
    I was told from the NBA rep who sent this to us, that’s what this has done. It has figured out the tie breakers. Follow across with your finger.....UTAH won last night, then go down to whether SAS or NOLA wins...OKC/MEM........then go to the next game and so on. Then on the far right it shows who will get the seed after all the tiebreakers. Breaks it all down. Thats why I asked why people were still confused. Sorry for trying to help homie.

    Ok I’ll ask again.

    Please point out where home court tiebreakers are figured out.

    why not just google it yourself and find a scenario that you can understand....no reason to bust HCP's balls over his posts of playoff scenarios is there?
