    okc has gotten 34 more FT's than the home team in their past 2 games. that only happens with direct league intervention.

    Why do you think okc will be a 4 or 5? You don't see Utah winning out or pelicans or spurs Winning out?

    Don’t think both will happen.

    GSW will want to best Utah for pride, but even if they lose, that will mean Portland is playing for the 3rd seed in the final game. So it’s at least one tough game for Utah against a team that is better than them.

    If Utah loses either of those games and okc beats Memphis they move up

    I believe OKC can only drop to 6th if Utah AND either the Spurs or Pelicans win out (they play each other, so both can't win out).

    But I could be wrong. This **** is complicated.

    What would the Nuggets beating the Blazers mean for the Bracket?

    First round probably twolves, second round will probably be okc/Utah and then wcf will be golden state.

    Honestly not sure it could work out any more difficult. Only thing worse will be if twolves aren’t 8

    Who has the tiebreaker - Portland or Utah? I would rather face Portland in the second round.

    That doesnt seem too bad. I still think portland is better than okc.

    Okc has high implosion potential in a playoff series imo.

    Sure nuggets would be fine too. The only bad scenario in 8 at this point is spurs as far as im concerned and yes I know they aren’t good this year

    Portland would probably beat OKC in a series.
