    Wait - so Rockets took out top 6 guys against the clips but will go all out against the Lakers so they can face the Clips or Den in Rd 2?

    Anyone know who has the tiebreaker between the Clippers, Warriors, and Timberwolves? Looking at their schedules I think there is a good chance they all finish 49-33. Minnesota is up big on Memphis right now.

    The Timberwolves can clinch the No. 6 seed (and avoid the play-in) by winning their three remaining games.

    Minnesota has tiebreaker with clippers
    They won all 3 games ,but GSW is 3-1 vs Minnesota

    If Clippers win in the last game vs GSW they have tiebreaker,if GSW -Clippers will be in play in

    With all these teams so bunch up record wise, I don’t even know who I should be rooting for anymore as far as favorable matchups for us.

    Umm I don't like where the seeding is right now. It's currently GS vs Lakers. GS is the one team that doesn't mind playing small

    Don't need to see the Warriors again

    I’d much rather play Golden State than the Clippers, but I’m not afraid of either. Especially with playoff Luka on our side.

    It’s very possible we end up with a Warriors, Nuggets, Thunder path to the Finals, our reward for getting the 3 seed if we do. The west is brutal.

    How do you get Warriors and Nuggets?

    For now is looking alright. GSW, Rockets/Memphis/Minny and Thunder/Nuggets/Clips
    We are a top2 team in the West imo. We have 3 great minds in a playoff setup. I honestly don't mind who we get in postseason, Lakers in 5

    Rockets will go all out today to try to make sure they avoid us in the 2nd round. Let's give them the reason why they want to avoid us

    To simplify , it will come down to this unless a team loses an unexpected game :

    If Warriors beat the Clippers , we'll play the Warriors
    If the Clippers beat the Warriors , we'll play the Wolves

    The winner of the 3/6 series will play the winner of the 2/7 series.

    the winner of the 1/8 series plays the winner of the 4/5 series

    If we get the 3rd seed, round two will likely be the rockets, and WCF will likely be OKC if the higher seeds win their series
