View Full Version : Bulls/Spurs tiebreaker: random draw?

Worst case scenario, a Bulls win forces them into a tiebreak scenario where the tiebreaker comes down to random draw. When you think about it, how ridiculous is it that it comes down to random draw? Why not go winning percentage against playoff teams? Point differential in their head to head? Point differential on the season? Something? Anything?

I'll never understand how you ever get to a tie break that's random draw, especially when the first set of tiebreaks is reasonably likely to end up tied (an east/west team always play exactly twice, so the odds of splitting are pretty high, and then you just have opposing conference record before going to random draw).

Yup, pretty stupid. I went on a rant about this the other day, and some dumbass tried to tell me that it wasn't retarded that it comes down to a random draw after only two deciding factors.

Random draw like the 1985 draft lottery. A card will have a bent edge, and when David Stern picks out the card to see who gets home court between San Antonio and Chicago, the card will read "LA Lakers."
