@bksballer89 can you translate for me what Sunday looks like for Sixers.

Tie breakers are stupid. Wolves should be the 1 seed right now.

Um…..how else do you decide seeding when teams have the same record?

I’m saying cause the wolves own the tiebreaker in against the nuggets and the Thunder but since all 3 are tired then they don’t. Pretty dumb.

Pick a number between 1 and a gazillion

More games obviously…

When 3 are tied they consider it more important how the 3 teams did against each other.

 

[thunderc]

At this point really all the Thunder can do is be good with it and just go win Sunday. It does no good to play for the 2 or 3 unless Denver gets the 1.

One teams has the head to head over both the other 2. You don’t think it’s silly they aren’t the 1 seed when both teams lose the head to head to them?

You aren’t hearing me, the Thunder win the 3 way tie with the best record of the 3 in games they all played against each other. Thunder went 5-3, Twolves 4-4, Nuggets 3-5.

Well, you're in Oklahoma and he's in Colorado...you're going to have to yell louder.

I'll see myself out.

No I really don’t. I mean the Thunder tied 2-2 with the Twolves anyway, the only reason the Twolves win a 2 way tie is conference record. When 3 are involved they determined how they faired against each other is more important of a tiebreaker than conference record.

Right how they fared against each other would make sense if each of the 3 teams had atleast a winning record against one of the others. The fact that neither team owns a tiebreaker over the wolves, tells me the 3 way tie is kind of pointless. If wolves lost to thunder tiebreak but beat Denver and so forth a 3 way tie would make more sense.

I am as confused as you lol

I think they need Milwaukee to beat Orlando to get out of the play-in as it seems like Orlando for some weird reason wins a 3 way tiebreaker between Philly, Indy, and them

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I'll see you Wednesday for Heat/Sixers most likely @fightinfunbags

Orlando get the tiebreaker due to being a division winner so you need to root hard for Milwaukee on Sunday and hope Dame is back as well

It is what it is.

Here is how it breaks down Sunday for the top 3 seeds in the West.

All 3 win or all 3 lose, or OKC wins and other 2 lose
1 OKC
2 Minny
3 Denver

OKC loses, other 2 win
1 Minny
2 Denver
3 OKC

OKC and Denver win, Minny loses

1 OKC
2 Denver
3 Minny

OKC and Minny win, Denver loses
1 Minny
2 OKC
3 Denver

Denver wins and other 2 lose
1 Denver
2 Minny
3 OKC

Minny wins, other 2 lose

1 Minny
2 OKC
3 Denver

 

[bksballer89]

Bucks should want to win though if they want to avoid Boston until ECF. If they lose then they likely end up 4th assuming Cleveland and NY handle business

These have been agreed upon from day 1. I as a Timberwolves fan want to play the foul card as much as anyone but it has already been agreed upon so why cry mulligan now?

I really liked where we were both sitting if Denver had stayed in the 1. Fight it out between our teams to go to the conference finals.

 

[thunderc]

Here come the Warriors

I mean, it would be great to get home court over one another, that might determine the end result. But all three are equally skilled and the better team will end up winning regardless. Complaining about predetermined tie breakers after the fact just doesn't work
