There still a chance we play the rockets
Our seeding odds have improved dramatically over the last couple of days to the point that there is a scenario where it's up to us to choose who we want to playAs I thought, it all pivots around HOU@OKC.
HOU will choose its opponent for the forst round, basically. They can even maybe choose if get #2 or #3 seed.
On Tuesday they play after DEN and before POR, so entering the 4th quarter they'll know if they can catch DEN or not.
If they (decide to) make it to #2 they will probably play OKC (although tie break OKC LAC might go down to other-conference record), and SA will get #6 seed.
But if they stay #3 losing to OKC, then it is almost certainly OKC in the playoffs and SA will make 7th.
We might need to lose to DAL to avoid HOU in the first round..
Seriously, if it comes down to it, i really hope Pop doesn't play it dumb and prefer the short trip to Houston over a Denver or Blazers matchup.
Like you said the Rockets/Thunder game should unlock a lot of seeding permutations since we will know its outcome first (Tuesday)..

Really hope we avoid Houston too. They have been tearing it up since the ASB and you don't want to run into that buzzsaw..
From RealGM: 2019 Rockets post All-Star: 20-4, +11.4 net rating, #2 offense (0.1 behind Portland), #2 defense
I really don't know who I prefer to win that Rockets-OKC game. It all comes down to how the Nuggets-Jazz game ends. If Denver loses, then it's better for the Rockets to win so that the Spurs-Nuggets matchup gets locked up. If Denver wins, then it's better for OKC to win with the chance of seeing Houston fall down all the way to 4th seed.
Who we aiming for? Blazers?
nuggets gonna win, jazz have nothing to play for...
Anyone between Spurs and a ring.
Thug life
lalalala it's the one and only D, ouh, double G.
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine.
Wow. So according to that, we're most likely to finish 6th (6/14), followed by 7th (5/14), followed by 8th (3/14).
Edit: Assuming all scenarios are equally plausible, which they probably aren't.
It's DAL@SA,HOU@OKC,OKC@MIL and UTA@LAC.
I'd say all scenarios are equally plausible based on these 4 games.
ing NCAA making us sweat this out for another day. Who really cares about Tech and Virginia?
Jabari Young is such a ing
What are you sweating out? Spurs are losing the first round no matter who they will be playing.
Rockets might end up as 2nd seed
Might be good to be the 6th seed then
Rockets crumbling. They better get their together..
Rox fell asleep.
Here's what we need, and only one is a longshot, if Bud doesn't do us a solid. Every one of the teams that needs to win is motivated, except Milwaukee. OTOH, OKC may be out of gas after last night. This would put us at 6 and Portland at 3, a good matchup.
SA beats DAL
MIL beats OKC
DEN beats MIN
POR beats SAC
No way OKC lose, they eger to avoid warriors, after the win last night against rockets, they will not throw it away(pop is not their coach, lol)
If they lose, they don't get the Warriors. The Clippers do. The only way that the Clippers can climb out of 8th is if we lose, they win, and we fall a game behind them. OKC is a game ahead of both us, and the LAC. They did their work last night. They can finish no worse than 7th. , OKC may not even want a match with whoever #3 is, depending on how they did with Denver this year. 7th might be exactly where they want to be.
OKC will likely be 8th if they lose to Bucks (with Spurs and Clippers wins ), because of the 3-way tie. Clippers get 7th.
Also, by the time OKC play Milwaukee they won't know who the 3rd will be because Portland and Denver play later. Besides Denver always kills OKC.
You're right. OKC comes out on the short end of a 3 way tie, based on group head to head: SA 4-3, LAC 4-4, OKC 3-4
