Memphis Grizzlies (54-25) @ Los Angeles Clippers (53-26)

Tie breakers go division leader then season series then conference record then idk after that. Maybe home record?

We won't need to worry about the next tie breaker, Clippers will have conference record on everyone if they win.

Now we need Memphis to win out, Houston to lose 1 and SA to at least win one, which they should. That puts Memphis 2nd, Clippers 3rd, SA 5th and Houston 6th. Clippers only chance at 2nd is if all those teams lose at least one game, but outside of Memphis who has GS, they don't really have tough games.

If we get Houston CP should have a field day. Unless of course they run a Harden,Brewer,Ariza,Jones,Howard starting 5 like I think they should and put Brewer on CP.

Glad we were able to win this one. Refs missed the DJ foul call. Didn't like the Blake offensive foul call either. Lucky for us the refs calls didn't cost us the game. Lastly great job by DJ for knocking down his last two free throws.

Yes, edited, that's what I meant, third is locked up with two wins

overnighting some roids to Nawlins.

GSW is gonna take care of Memphis because they want the Spurs in the 2 or 3 hole.
Pellies gonna beat Houston and SAS for us because they love us.

Yup, a healthy Spurs size is a lot for the Warriors as well as their ability to stick Kawhi and Green on Steph to at least get the ball out of his hands and make others shoot while sticking the other on Klay. Warriors definitely would prefer them to not be 5th. Memphis gets GS while on the road too, so if I was a betting man, I'd put Memphis at 1-1 and finishing with 54 wins, which sucks.

So that happens and we start banking on Clippers winning out, SA losing one game, Houston winning out which puts Houston at 56, SA at 55 and Memphis at 54, lol, and still gets SA 5th and in GS's bracket. This also gives the Clippers vs Grizzlies tie breaker series. Go Pelicans!

On the other hand, Dallas has something against the Spurs, so instead of them getting a hobbled Portland, Dallas might have an outside upset chance (maybe?), so who knows. It's a fun race to the finish.

There are probably no easy matchups this year. We just have to hope Crawford can shake the rust off and that this team plays defense

Portland, not easy, but very favorable, tons of injuries, bad defense without Matthews, CP is a bad matchup for Lillard on both ends. That matchup doesn't seem likely anymore, so ah well..

the goal is to win it all. It would be nice to get a good position but in the end you have beat them all. I always liked to get the hard part over first so lets bring on the spurs. they are the team to beat.
