So this game needs to end to see who get's home court in the 3/4/5/6 matchups.

If Portland wins they get the 3 seed and will face OKC And it's 3-6 no?

And Jazz will get the 4 seed means Jazz V Pelicans no?

no. matchups are set. seeds are not.

Which is interesting how much of a trickle effect this can have if these series potentially go 7.

It's complicated but it has to do with 3 way tiebreakers
If Jazz win they are the 3 seed, if they lose they are the 5 seed

its been a crazy finish by every aspect. tanking teams for lottery, tanking teams for playoff seeds, etc..

OKC in 7

OKC in 5 or 6. Mitchell is really the only Jazz guy that can score so they can just load up on him. And he's a rookie. Too much experience and talent in OKC.

Thunder in 5. They are going to the finals this year and may actually win it all. 8-)

Thunder in 6

Billy Donovan is going to have to coach because the Jazz are going to defensive gameplan like you wouldn't believe.

Thunder in 5-6, pretty easy one to pick TBH.

PhilBlackson · Post #73 » by **PhilBlackson** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:36 am

I want the Jazz to upset (I know they're actually the higher seed but most expect Thunder to win tbh) but it's hard to see Westbrook n PG giving up this series to them.

OKC is 4th, and Jazz are 5th

(assuming Portland doesn't lose a 15pt lead with 4 minutes left)

I'm taking OKC in 5 now that we have HCA. Going to be close games though. Best of luck Jazz fans.

OKC in 6. Jazz have had an amazing year, but you gotta give the nod to the more exp duo of Westbrook and PG who have been through postseason trenches.

OKC getting pretty lucky tbh, Jazz-Rockets is the best playoff path they could wish for. I think they're going to the WCF.

The only way things could have worked out better would be facing the Warriors in the 1st round while Curry is still out (or have someone eliminate GSW, which I don't think Spurs will do)

Asif16 · Post #78 » by **Asif16** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:53 am

My prediction wouldve been a longer series if Jazz had home court. But with OKC getting home court, OKC in 5 most likely

Nowitness · Post #79 » by **Nowitness** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:55 am

OKC in 5 or 6 if they play to their actual potential, Utah needs more time IMO
