Predict the Clippers playoff seed!

Let's hear it guys, what is your prediction for our playoff seed this year? At this moment, 1 game separates the 5th through 8th seeds (where Clips currently reside.)

A correct guess earns you the satisfaction of a job well done!

They need a We-Believe-Dubs run to truly erase the disappointments of the Lob City era.

Anything but 8th hopefully

Last game of the season is against Utah at 7:30 PM local time. OKC, GSW and SAS all play at 5 PM and will be done or wrapping up by the time our game starts. Denver plays Minnesota at the same time as our game.

My hope is that the Clippers can control their own destiny and maneuver their way into the most favorable match-up.

Tiebreakers

Lost season series vs Jazz
Tied 2-2 against Spurs and Thunder

Next tiebreaker is conference record. Spurs (29-19), LAC (25-21), OKC (25-21)

losing all the tiebreakers makes finishing ahead of anybody else that much more improbable

Pacers
Cavs
Knicks
Wolves
Bucks
Cavs
Grizz
Rockets
Lakers
Dubs
Jazz

8-3 is possible
6-5 is possible too

damn I want that 7th seed

but Jazz have nothing but garbage on their sched exc for 1 game with the Nugs

and the Spurs are 9-1 in their last 10
Clips are 8-2 and lost ground!!!

Spurs have an easy schedule coming up with only Celts, Rockets and Nugs on the road looking like losses

not feeling it

last thing I imagined was the Spurs losing to the Heet at home, where they were 29-7

OKC came back to send it to overtime but died like dogs with PG fouled out

still not feeling it b/c we lose most tiebreakers
but oh I so want to be wrong
last game vs Jazz might be the best game of the year

i mean dang

The tiebreakers aren’t looking good, and some teams have pretty easy schedules rest of way.

But if ATL can just get a home upset against Utah tonight, 5 through 8 will all be 42-30- crazy!

Jazz at Bulls Saturday, but then Clippers at Knicks Sunday, so we can still end the weekend at #5.

This is absolutely nuts, 4 teams that will be basically playing ALL must-win games from here on out...

The Jazz have 8 should-wins in a row coming up, hopefully they can falter once or twice like they did the other night.

At this point, OKC is our best bet to fall on the grenade at #8:

Who says the regular season doesn’t matter? Okay maybe in the East but definitely not in the bloodbath western conference

I think we'll end up 6th or 7th. Its going to go down to the wire

hope you're right

as you saw, the other teams have easy schedules too and pretty much hold the tiebreakers

beating the Jazz on the last day of the season could become a Top Ten Ever LA Clipper moment

If the season ended today, the Clips would be matched up with the Rockets.

Forget about seeding, which team do the Clippers want to face, Warriors, Nuggets, Rockets or Trailblazers?

Right now, Clippers are 2 games out of #4 and 3 games out of #3 after tonight's games.

So potentially they could match up with the bottom 4 teams as well.

Imagine if the Clippers get the Rockets. CP3 and Austin!

Talk about a blood feud!

Rockets. I want no part of GS or Nuggets until the later rounds. They aren't catching the Rockets or Blazers though. Fifth seed is totally in range. Shocking.
