This is Our Time: April 14 - Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz - 7pm MT

[Stifle Tower]

Trey "Tank" Burke: 7-20. Thank you!!!
Wouldn't it be ironic if BPA was Marcus Smart and he came in and took Trey's job?

So to confirm here, and the actual lottery process not withstanding:

We're 4th. Boston 5th. Lakers 6th.

If we lose to the Wolves, we stay 4th.
If we beat the Wolves, and Boston loses to the Spurs we're in a tie-breaker with them for 4th.

Is that right?

Correct.

If orlando wins their last game and we lose ours then we will be tied for 3rd too...

Well the Jazz beat the Lakers by 18 in February. I wouldn't panic here.

 

[billyshelby]

Huge loss. Still holding my breath until we lose to Minny.

Yes, the Lakers are 2 games ahead of us with 1 game to play. So it's down to us and the Celts for 4th.

Yes.
We've gone from worrying about teams like Detroit and Sacramento and ending up 8th/9th to no worse than a tie for 4th. Too bad Indiana is still fighting for home court. Otherwise they'd rest everyone on the road at Orlando.

Yes but I think the tie breaker only matters after the balls have been drawn. Both teams have equal chances at hitting the lottery. The coin toss would then decide who goes 4 and 5 if neither team hits the lottery.

Rather that than us lose the pick due to our own incompetence.

That's true. Good point.

I thought the got home court with Miami losing tonight?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz won the bottom of the Western Conference.

I think we should get a banner.

 

[billyshelby]

Is there any chance the Pacers rest everyone and give Orlando a chance? A tie for 3 would be beyond my wildest dreams.

If the ping pong balls don't spilt equally then they will flip a coin, and that coin flip will decide order if none move up.

They clinched the first seed with Miami losing tonight, so its a high chance that they do.

Miami plays the 76ers for their last game. Do the Pacers hold the tie-breaker with the Heat?

 

[Doublea]

Imagine if the the Celtics had won tonight.

 

[nateboz]

This was the best game of the year. It was really the only one I was excited to watch. And we LOST when we most needed! I have to say its great reading the Lakers forums too right now!!

Link please, I want to lick up the tears.

Okay, so the Pacers have nothing to play for.

Other forums are laughing at how Rondo tanked the Celtics game, just throwing the ball away and not playing defense.

Sounds like what we did.
