Clips

how?

Um, not necessarily

Actually, assuming we play two-games better them overall, there's a good chance we beat them in the tiebreak.

First Tiebreaker: Head to Head
Tied 2-2

Second Tiebreaker: Division Record
Clippers 5-7
(games remaining v. LAL (2), Sacramento, at Phoenix)
Warriors 5-10
(game remaining: at Sacramento)

Basicallly, if all the favorites win -- we both beat Sacramento, and they lose to the Lakers (both games) and Suns -- we end up tied at 6-10.

Third Tiebreaker: Conference Record
Clippers 19-24
Warriors 21-23 (!!!)

Only in-conference games remain; so, if we play two games better than them the rest of the way, WE win this tiebreak.

Thanks

yup

we really need the clips to screw up in at least 3 of their remaining divisional match ups.

All we need

Is for their divisional games to go according to form. The Lakers are better than them, they always get up for the crosstown games, and they're playing pretty well lately.

Basically, for the next two games, every member of GSoM needs to be the biggest Kobe/Lakers fan in the world. If they handle Denver tomorrow and the Clips the day after that -- and we can somehow steal a win in Houston -- we're right back in the thick of the race.

But even if we lose to Houston (more likely) I think we're still in pretty good shape. Here's one winning scenario v. the Clips that involves NO serious upsets:

CLIPPERS
L -- LALakers
L -- Denver
L -- at Dallas
L -- at New Orleans
L -- at LALakers
W -- Portland
W -- Sacramento
L -- at Phoenix
W -- New Orleans

WARRIORS
L -- at Houston
W -- at Memphis
L -- at San Antonio
L -- Utah
W -- at Sacramento
W -- Minnesota
L -- Dallas
W -- at Portland

Final records
LAC 39-43
Warriors 39-43
Warriors win tiebreak, make playoffs.

good prediction

but I don't think the clippers will lose to New Orleans... especially in the condition chris paul is in. But anything can happen

Chris Paul

Even with his hairline fracture or whatever, he owned Nate Robinson and the Knicks in yesterday's OT win. I gotta figure at home, with the playoffs still very much in range for them, the Hornets will be favored. I gave the Clips the win in their matchup in LA.

Actually, going down the schedule, I think all my predictions are pretty reasonable. Of course it won't actually unfold anything like that, but it's nice for me to see that in a highly "normal case" scenario, we can still beat out the Clips. They could sweep New Orleans, sure, but we could just as easily handle Utah at home. That'd make us both 40-42, and again, we'd win the tiebreak...

Hopefully

San Antonio will keep the heat on the Suns for the second seed. If the Suns go up by enough games, they could be resting their stars/starters against the clips (its the last game of the season for the suns).

Sacramento could just do us a huge favor by loosing to us but beating LA.
