Why on earth would you want to play Denver? They beat us 3 out of 4 times. I'd rather play the team we swept in the regular season.
Clippers gonna fire Doc? Chris Paul Revealed To Steve Ballmer That Doc Rivers Was Contributor To Exit Following Chris Paul's exit from the Los Angeles Clippers last offseason, Steve Ballmer asked to meet with him. Ballmer wanted to gain insight from Paul on why he left and also to share his thoughts on the state of the franchise. Sources say Paul told Ballmer that Doc Rivers was one of the contributing factors on why he left. Many of the longtime Clippers from that era noticed how Rivers grew frustrated with his inability to manage the locker room and began to act out himself. Some of the Clippers also noticed how Rivers takes on a salesmanship personality but could also fudge the truth.
I think he could be fired. He himself may want a change of scenery? Ballmer knows once morale is effected with leadership change is probable;y inevitable.
I would rather lose and play Pelicans than win and play Spurs or Utah (can we even still play them? I think no).
I think I have this one right at least. No, we can't play Utah. 6 out 16 shot we play NO-- we'll have HCA 8 out of 16 shot we play SAS-- half of them without HCA 1 out of 16 shot we play DEN-- we'll have HCA 1 out of 16 shot we play MIN-- we'll have HCA
Arrrrrrgggggh. That game has no impact on HCA, only seeding. SA has to lose or Blazers have to win for Blazer HCA.
Still haven't seen anything definitive on that. The "memo" Blazersedge referenced was 3 years old. Chad's "we checked that with the league" comment is nebulous at best. It seems counterintuitive that the league would apply a multi-team tiebreaker to determine seeding, and then go back and use a H2H record to determine HCA, when in every other instance the league has made a point to have HCA and seeding be congruent.
Right? Casey on the Ripcity Report even referenced the same. About it reverting H2H to determine HCA. He said that's why we played MEM without HCA in 2015.
I was talking about the game last night against the GSW. When Utah won they took hold of the 3rd seed. We win it back tonight.
So is that right? We could get 4th seed but not homecourt advantage? Do they refer back to H2H for HCA or did they change it to the three way tiebreaker for seed and HCA
Different sources are saying different things. Nobody knows for certain (regardless of how certain every seems to be), because it's not clearly stated anywhere.
