Not that playing Memphis or San Antonio will likely be a problem for the loser of LA/GSW, I would prefer to see the 7/8 game played first. As it stands. The 7/8 team will know who their opponent will be if they lose and may influence the outcome.
If the Lakers for example, think they match up better with the Jazz, but wouldn't want to play Memphis but matchup well with San Antonio, it could influence how they treat this game tonight depending on who wins the earlier game.
