that was before they pulled a vassell and turned the corner
If it were the last game of the season there would be a better chance for that but it isn't.

Why is he out?
bucks beating heat basically solidifies ATL in the 8
I still think a 7th seed Orlando beats them and a 9th seed bulls gets one over as well.
Would be huge if some how atl loses today against jazz.
The Jazz don't have any reason to tank anymore. They have already locked up a bottom 3 record.
They cannot be rewarded for this. They shut down multiple key players every game, and have been fined for it. Lottery gods, please knock their asses back to #5.
This is their first season ever with more than 60 losses. They were the last team that never lost 60 games.
They never had the first pick.
Pelicans have had their share of first picks and did nothing.
Hornets are arguably the worst franchise in the league.
Wizards are arguably the most irrelevant franchise in the league.
I don't want Sixers to get bailed out.
The Great White Hope is going to the Mormons, tbh.
cavs are pathetic....fake ass team.
If the spurs don’t get Cooper, I really want it to go to the Wizards. Desperate to have good pro ball in my backyard.
At least ATL lost to ORL and they have a back to back before their finale v ORL. They could lose 2 of 3 and end up at the 11 lotto seed outright or via coin flip.
Let’s hope Brooklyn and Philly show some fight. They’re very much locked in their lottery positions, so they won’t need to tank the games against Atlanta.
ORL blowing out BOS who is resting their starters what a gift!
that would be nice, giving us another 8.5% chance at a top4 pick
Thank you, Boston!
Need Miami to pull through as their last two games are cake walks.
ATL would need to win their last three games to stay as the 8th seed.
chicago's last 2 games are cake wins as well. but would require ATL to lose 2 out of 3 for chicago to get past them
hopefully miami can rally back though... miami choking against memphis and milwaukee in b2b games really ed em
Does anyone know who would have better lotto odds between Toronto and SA, should they finish with the same record?
Coin toss. Literally. A coin toss.
Just like when Houston and the Spurs tied for the Wemby sweepstakes and the Rockets won the toss.
A coin is flipped for the better odds
With the Bulls win unless ATL chokes two of their next three games the Hawks are going to be the 8th seed.
ORL will probably rest their starters the final game. Going to be an interesting week and play in games!
CHI wins a tiebreaker for playin seeding
playoff tiebreak from the NBA's website.
assuming we have a 2-way tie between the Hawks and Bulls
1) head to head record. they are 2-2, so this will not apply
2) division winner will be ahead of a non-division winner. magic won the southeast, so this will not apply
3) IF in the same division, divison record. they are not in the same division, so this will not apply
4) conference record. Hawks conference record is currently 27-22 with 3 games left. Bulls are 26-24 with 2 games left.
therefore even if bulls win out, hawks will have to drop 2 of 3 to not own this tieabreaker over the bulls. but in this scenario, bulls just have a better record anyway
