Suns are in a better position to dictate terms because of game start time (10PM). If they want us not to face Houston, they could do so irrespective of if we win or not.
If any of the following happen, we will not get Houston in 1st round.
If we win, Suns could easily win against Blazers (assuming Houston wins LAC).
If we win, Suns could lose to Blazers on purpose (assuming Houston lose to LAC).
If we lose, Suns could easily win Blazers (outcome of Houston does not matter).
Odds of Spurs facing Utah or Suns is growing. It is better for Spurs to win and get HCA in the first round and forget abt facing Houston in 1st round.
Not sure how much motivation Blazers have to win against Suns when Suns want the victory so badly (in case Suns need a victory).
