Yeah they hosed up the 3-way tiebreaker between Utah/Portland/OKC, which was immediately pointed out in the comments.

I think they had the Utah/Portland/OKC tiebreaker wrong. Utah would have head to head but 3 way tie is conference record I think?

3-way tie is head to head to head record. In that case it goes Portland > Utah > OKC.

Josh Lewenberg: Raptors can learn their 1st-round opponent tonight. IF Washington loses to Boston they’ll be locked into 8th. Wizards have lost 8 of 10 games but Celtics are already locked into 2nd, have nothing tangible to play for.

So anyone want to make any coach firing predictions? I'm going to double down on my preseason prediction that Walton gets the can, not because he's a bad coach but because there's probably some Pelinka toadie / forgotten 80s Lakers player they want to install instead

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I was sure Walton was gone halfway through the year but Jeanie came out pretty hard for him and she tends to get her way, and he did deliver, the Lakers played really well the second half of the season. Maybe another summer of Earvin pitching Byron Scott will win out though so who knows, that could be a good prediction.

I think Boston wants to win because they'd rather face the Bucks

They're rolling out the starters tonight and Brad said everyone would play minutes, they have another game tomorrow (against Brooklyn) where I think everyone important will rest

I’d love to see if Vogel could fix Milwaukee’s defense.

I doubt Kupchak will fire Clifford with one year left on his deal but I also wouldn’t be surprised.

I've watched a lot of lovely teams over the years but I can't recall ever being happy to see a season end. Can't wait for the Suns to drop to 4th in draft lottery :mrgw:

I'll miss him, but I think Stan Van Gundy's out. Swinging for Blake and missing the playoffs with that payroll is insanely bad.
