    We don't need to win at all. OKC and NO won. If we win, we have HCA we're playing NO. If we lose, we have HCA and we're playing NO.

    Portland does need a win. Entering the Playoffs on a 5 game losing streak doesn't exactly boost one's confidence.

    Yes. It is either 3/6 against NO or 4/5 against NO. Our opponent and HCA is decided. It is finished.

    The Jazz have a lot more riding on this game and have been playing much better. Hope the Blazers show up.

    How does that work? If we have the 3 seed we play 6 and and if we have 4 we play 5. What am I missing? How can NO move depending on what the blazers do?

    If we win (and thus Utah loses), NO is 6th but if we lose (and thus Utah wins), NO is 5th.

    It's done guys.

    As I pointed out earlier in the thread, it is still important for the Blazers to win the #3 seed if you want the best possible chance of winning in the second round. The Blazers have a better shot at defeating a banged up Warriors squad than they do the Rockets, as the season series against each team proved.

    Because of how three way ties would shake out. If we win, NO has the worst three way tie score (because Utah is in the three way tie) and gets 6th seed. If Utah wins, NO has the middle three way tie score because we’d be in the tie instead of Utah, so they get 5th seed.

    I think I agree with you. But then the Warriors are the champs. I'd hate to risk an injury tonight but I want 3rd seed too. I want to end season on a good note.

    Playing the Pels, I'm assuming that Meyers is going to get some run to draw Davis out of the paint
