Milwaukee showing signs they're mortal

[George Gervin]

What a cluster fuck in the West from 4-8

To be honest this all began with the benching of what has been the worst player in D5 this season, Tristan Thompson. Ever since then it's only been us going up.

PS: Watch me lose the last 6 games of the year because I talked trash.

[James Kay]

Golden State pretty much masters of their own destiny, with games remaining against DAL and two against POR.

The final day of the season will be exciting for Western teams with San Antonio taking on Houston, possibly with significant seeding implications.

[James Kay]

San Antonio with a relatively easy schedule down the stretch. Dallas also has an easy schedule, including playing the Clippers twice.

Portland has a so-so schedule, with two against Golden State.

Houston has some hard games against Denver, Memphis, and San Antonio, so definitely the toughest road.

My prediction:

Dallas takes the 4th seed, and POR, SAS, HOU, and GSW all end up with 41-41.

If it is a 4 way record tie, does seeding then go to Conference record or Head to Head? Kind of curious if it follows the League’s protocol for tiebreaking

Seeing #2 there makes me feel good if it’s a 4 way— my H:H vs those four is all positive (3-1 vs DAL, 2-1 vs HOU (1 game left in that), 3-1 vs GSW, and 3-1 vs POR)
