    If New Orleans and OKC hold onto their big halftime leads, it doesn't matter if we beat Utah. We're playing New Orleans and we have HCA. Either 3/6 or 4/5. How do you guys feel about this?

    Sure it is. We can start talking about our first round matchup.

    Getting #3 seed is still important in terms of the second round matchup. If the Blazers advance, they will likely lose in the second round either way, but I would rather roll the dice against the wounded Warriors.

    I want us to kill Utah so we have HCA in the WCF against them.

    No, no we can't. Nothing has been finalized yet, this is pure speculation based on what you believe will be the outcome of games with a little under 24 minutes left to be played.

    Even if the opponent is fixed by tipoff the Utah game is very important. We desperately need a little momentum and confidence heading into the weekend.

    How about we get through tonight before we start worrying about the next game. It will be what it is.

    If OKC chokes here, we play SA or Denver:

    **Portland wins, NO wins, Memphis wins, Minn wins

    3. Portland 49-33

    4.Utah 48-34

    5. NO 48-34

    6. SA 47-35

    7. Minnesota 47-35

    8. OKC 47-35

    If we lose, we play NO with HCA


    If Denver wins in this scenario...

    3. Portland 49-33

    4.Utah 48-34

    5. NO 48-34

    6. Denver 47-35

    7. SA 47-35

    8. OKC 47-35

    Why not both? It’s a jinx thread but I found it hella useful to get a quick status on what the scores mean.
