Who will get the 2-5 seeds in the West?

[badfish22]

2. Dallas
3. Utah
4. PHO
5. DEN

[Ghazi]

Utah or Dallas.

Just because the Mavs have been in a funk lately doesn't mean they can't break out of it. People need to stop going by how a team looks in its past 5 games or so... Lakers had that 3 game losing streak and people were talking about their issues and a potential rift between Gasol/Kobe and now they've won 7 straight... etc.

sons we have a motha in genius in the building!!!

Hornet and Spur fans quiet,the big boys are talking...You got a lottery to prepare for..

[Xylus]

Nevermind. Just noticed that they changed the rule this year...

TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage

I had no idea this rule existed. So even if the Suns own the tiebreaker over Denver or Utah at the end of the year, they'll still get a lower seed because they didn't win their division? That's a lame ing rule.

Utah is getting #2. Look at thier schedule. It's cake.

Why are you comparing a contender (Lakers) to a non-contender (Dallas) again?

[Ghazi]

cool story bro.

[JMarkJohns]

With the news of Lopez's injury, this likely means the Suns finish in fifth of these teams, and could slip to sixth... I don't care where so long as they get to play the Nuggets. That's their best hope with or without Lopez to advance. With Karl's issues, focus could be an issue, and without Martin, they are a bit thin up front. The Suns have played them very well this season, even when Lopez was out at the beginning of the year or when Lopez wasn't much of a factor.

Epic fail Denver. Look what you've done.

Dallas probably has the most favorable schedule but they are known to choke from time to time. Utah blows on the road. Denver can't win without the George Karl apparently

Going with Phoenix as the two-seed only because they've been on a roll lately.

Who gives a though when the Lakers will just steamroll through the West anyway .

like they steamrolled through OKC?

[21_Blessings]

like they steamrolled through OKC?

Like they steamrolled through the West the last two years.

lol regular season smack from a Spurs fan.

[Thundaluva]

What's funny is 90210 has been talking about the Thunder all season and now he's acting like a Thunder fan to talk about the Lakers. PATHETIC!

[Xylus]

Denver, Utah, and Phoenix are all now tied in the loss column with 26.

[Ghazi]

Boysin blue will send Denver to the #5 slot tomorrow night

[Xylus]

2. Utah
3. Dallas
4. Phoenix
5. Denver

Agreed

[JMarkJohns]

Agreed

That was before Lopez was determined to be injured and out for most of the remaining games (and most likely all games). Now I figure Utah, Dallas, Denver and Phoenix, with Phoenix still having a decent shot at beating the Nuggets in the first round.

You better look out for the Blazers cuz we're MOVING UP!

[Flux451]

What a dope month this will be!

Clearly defined in chapter 8 paragraph 4 sub paragraph 2 of the "Sterns s the Suns" doctrine. The nightmare continues...

First round exit either way. At least you guys will get another parade.
