    But no one can find where a three team tie results in another tiebreaker to determine HCA either.

    Bet we will all know in the morning.
    Blazers just need to go out and take care of business.

    Yes, the same page has been posted several times from 2010 before the rules were changed.

    The EXACT quote for HCA is:
    "For purposes of home court advantage, ties will be broken pursuant to the procedures used for breaking two-team ties for playoff position."

    That doesn't say anything about multiple teams tied or that the rule is applied after the other tiebreaker.

    It makes it sound like the seed tie breaker happens first, then if two teams meet in the first round tied, it goes back to the H2H 2 team tiebreaker. Thats how I read it anyway.

    I understand how it could be interpreted that way but once again these are old rules. The new rules make it so no scenarios have this issue.

    Spurs Talk forum seems to think they will have home court as the 5th seed vs 4th seed Blazers if we end up tied. Not that they make the rules, but that is their understanding over there.

    It's based on this tweet. He said he talked to the "league" about it.

    Yet once again that tweet references a 2 team tie not a 3 team tie.

    As stated, that's from 2010.
    The current ones are here:

    There is nothing that talks about HCA.

    Completely understand that.

    The crux of the question is, what determines HCA? If seeding does not = HCA, then it does go to a 2 team tie to determine HCA.

    That was back when division winners got a top seed. That is not the case here.

    So do get HCA with the 4 seed or not?
