I think we need the Clips to win? Have the Clips move to the 3 seed and the Nuggs to 4 or 5 seed?

Or if both the Clips and the Muggets lose out we can get the 3 seed.

It is confusing.

IIRC we need clips n nugs to lose, but you're right its confusing.

Gotta hope clippers lose a game now, which is possible. Sacramento is a trap game Wednesday, in what could be the final game ever at Sleep Train Arena.

I wanted to get League pass out here in Knoxville, but we are still considered 'local market' for the grizz, so all of them are blacked out.

I would have to leave the state, and likely the region if I wanted to watch the grizz.

You could move to Memphis when you become a sheister I mean an attorney.

What a tremendous night for our team. What an effort by our bench. Sure they needed a bit of the help from the starters to get the ball rolling in the second half. But a great night.

From CBS sports.com

Portland at Los Angeles Clippers: A Clippers loss clinches the third seed for Denver and the fourth seed for the Clippers and means a Grizzlies win clinches home court for Memphis in the first round as a 5-seed. A Clippers win moves them within a win on Wednesday and a Denver loss of the third. A Clippers win and a Grizzlies loss on Wednesday clinches home court vs. the Grizzlies.

No. 3/4/5 seeds: The whole big mess starts with Denver, which clinched home-court advantage in the first round with its win vs. Milwaukee on Monday.

Denver holds the tiebreaker over the Grizzlies via head-to-head, but the Clippers hold the tiebreaker having won their division. Denver's magic number for the 3-seed is one. If they fall to the four and face the Grizzlies, they are ensured home-court advantage.

The Clippers clinched the Pacific Division title, their first division title in franchise history. They are 1 1/2 games back of Denver and a half-game back of Memphis. But should they tie, thanks to the rules about division leaders, they maintain a lead over Memphis for the fourth and home court due to the division-leader/winner tiebreaker.

If the playoffs started today, the 4-5 Clippers-Grizzlies matchup would begin in Memphis by that half-game.

Memphis has clinched no worse than fifth.

If the Clippers lose Tuesday or Wednesday, the Nuggets are the third seed. If that happens and the Clippers win Wednesday and the Grizzlies lose Wednesday, the Clippers have home court. If the Clippers lose Tuesday or Wednesday and the Grizzlies win, the Grizzlies have home court.

If the Clippers lose both games, the Nuggets are third, the Clippers are fourth, the Grizzlies are fifth and Memphis has home court.

If the Nuggets win Wednesday and the Clippers win Tuesday and Wednesday, the Nuggets are third, the Clippers are fourth, the Grizzlies are fifth and the Clippers have home court advantage.

If the Clippers win Tuesday and Wednesday and the Nuggets lose Wednesday, the Clippers are the third seed, the Nuggets are the fourth seed, the Grizzlies are fifth and Denver has home court.

If the Clippers win Tuesday and Wednesday and the Nuggets win Wednesday, the Nuggets are the third seed, the Clippers fourth and the Grizzlies fifth, with the Clippers having home court.

The Grizzlies cannot finish higher than fifth, but they can have home court.

Got it?

:wacko:

So we want the Clips to lose, basically. Nothing else matters from our standpoint at this point, right? All the confusing part is just between Nuggs and Floppers?

No, I think if the Clips win out, and the Nugs lose, we can play against the Nugs in the first round.

Not sure if that is better than Clips at home.

I think we want Clips to lose though. And then we win. I think if we lose on weds, the clips need to have lost out.
