Interesting and important one in the West is that the Mavericks win all tiebreakers over Memphis, but the problem is that their last 3 games are @ LAC (Sunday), @ UTA (Monday) and vs Spurs (Wednesday). Memphis plays @ LAC on Tuesday and @ Golden State on Wednesday; likely two losses there. Dallas likely just has to win one to get the #6 spot to avoid the Spurs, but which one can they realistically win?

In the second round or what?

[Robz4000]

Regardless of who gets what seed, the top four West teams advance in 5 games or less. East might be more intriguing but will be meaningless nonetheless.

I think Miami and Boston have legitimate chances to upset Cleveland eventually. Toronto and Atlanta are perennial playoff pretenders, so we should root for them to lose if we want Cleveland to lose.


Also, Blazers could give the clips problems & Mavs are on a roll right now so you never know.

[D-Wade]

If we play the Cs we better have HCA or else we're gone before Cleveland can even happen. Losing to the Magic yesterday sucked :bang

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Karl Anthony Towns just one-upped Big Game Dame's 4 point play in a wild finish in Portland. :lol Blazers can still drop to 6...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Thunder with a hell of a comeback in a wild finish in Sacramento, were down by 7 with 22 seconds remaining and now it's all tied up with 7 seconds to play! WOW

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Thunderefs got a taste of their own medicine. :lol Free throws to end the game, good W for Sacramento to close out Arco Arena.
