The win against orlando was a 2 game swing.

If we had lost we would have 23 wins and they would have 24. That is why it was so disappointing. Giving them a w is just as important as getting the L.

Ya I don't think Stoked was factoring this^^^

Serena Winters: D'Antoni: "I think, if I'm not mistaken, it's the same number of ping pong balls. right? Don't they flip a coin or something?" Reporter then responded w/ no…Utah guarantees that they finish w/ the worst record… To which D'Antoni upon realizing it, said, “I mean, you kind of hate that,” but after a pause, "I thought we (Utah) had the same record?” Twitter - See more at: https://hoopshype.com/rumors/tag/utah_jazz#sthash.hN1dI9RE.dpuf

It was and is more damaging since they are the team right above us in the standings. The losses you need the most are to the teams within 2-3 games of you in either direction. If I ask you would you rather lose to the Pelicans or to the Lakers you would choose Lakers so we wouldn't end up tied with them.

I'd say it doesn't matter because either loss place Utah in front.

Ignoring any trolling attempts. Since March 22nd we have won 2 games:

ORL: W
DET: L
MEM: L
NOP: L
OKC: L
NYK: L
NOP: W
GSW: L
DAL: L
POR: L
DEN: L
LAL: L

Magic are 23-58 and are in 3rd but could slip to a 3/4 tie.
Jazz are 24-57 and are in 4th but could slip to a 4/5 tie or jump to a 3/4 tie.
Lakers are 26-55 and are in 6th and could jump to a 5/6 tie.

No real complaints btw.

Making the assumption that the other teams win and lose all the games they did besides the ones against us:

If I switch the ORL win for DEN:

Magic are 24-57 and are in 3/4 tie but could slip to 4 (or 3/4/5 or 4/5 tie) or jump to 3.
Jazz are 24-57 and are in 3/4 tie but could slip to 4 (or 3/4/5 or 4/5 tie) or jump to 3.
Lakers are 26-55 and are in 6th and could jump to a 5/6 tie.

If I switch the NOP win to LAL:

Magic are 23-58 and are in 3rd but could could slip to 3/4 tie.
Jazz are 24-57 and are in 4th but could slip to a 4/5 or 4/5/6 tie or tie for 3.
Lakers are 25-56 and are in a 5/6 tie and could jump to a 4/5 or 4/5/6 tie.

By beating ORL we lost out on the chance of getting the 3rd spot by ourselves. By losing to LAL we avoided a 4/5/6 tie.

ORL going to lose to a Pacers team who actually played a few starters. Slight chance of Boston winning which could help us claim #4 outright, but we just need to play crappy this half irregardless.
 
Shaping up to be a disaster. Boston now getting hammered and Utah up by 10 with Love playing like $%#^. Looks like a tie for 4/5. Guess I shouldn't be too mad; Utah does have the 2nd worst record after the break. And until a couple of weeks ago, it appeared Boston was going to finish 4th and LA and Sacramento were going 5/6.

Good points. At one point not too long again, falling all the way to 8th or 9th looked like a very real possibility.
