Topic: 2019-2020 NBA Season - Draft Day to Playoffs

[dyerds]

So we have 4 teams hoping to get to the 8th spot in the West. How will these 4 teams get to play in the play-in game first? San Antonio who has the least games played this season, even if they win their last game against Jazz, will only have a record of 33 wins while Portland, Memphis and Phoenix will have the chance to reach 34 or 35 wins. Their standing in the restart and this season

Memphis 1-6 / 33-39
Phoenix 7-0 / 33-39
Portland 5-2 / 34-39
San Antonio 5-2 / 32-38

Dude I dont know with you but for me the Nuggets game encapsulated how poorly they play. The entire 4th quarter the Nuggets didn't play Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr. and just fielded their entire bench unit while the Lakers have their best unit on the floor (AD, LBJ, Kuz, Caruso, Waiters). They couldn't stop the Nuggets bench.  Hirap na hirap sila and they won only by the last second play for Kuzma.

We can agree to disagree but I still think they are ripe for an upset.

No one is not ripe for upset.. Lahat ng teams..

Lets wait and see anong playoff mode na lebron ang lalabas. It depends on him..

Sa pagkakatanda ko parang yung 8th and 9th seed maglalaro pa ata sir sa final positioning.regardless the record. Tapos twice to beat ang 8th seed. Kaya pag nanatili sa 9th seed ang blazers malaki chance masibak nila twice ang griz..

Because the teams will not end up with the same number of total games, the 8th and 9th seed will be determined based on the final winning percentages.

The final seeding games for the four teams on Friday PH time will all be crucial:

PHX v. DAL (4:00 a.m.)
MEM v. MIL (4:00 a.m.)
SAS v. UTA (6:30 a.m.)
POR v. BKN (9:00 a.m.)

* If POR wins, it will automatically be the 8th seed with the twice-to-beat advantage in the play-in tournament regardless of the outcome of the other games. If POR loses, it will be eliminated if MEM wins and SAS or PHX wins in their last game.

* If MEM wins, it will qualify for the play-in tournament and, with a POR win, automatically eliminate SAS and PHX even if they win in their last game. Whether it will be the 8th or 9th seed depends on the outcome of the POR game. But if MEM loses and SAS or PHX wins, MEM will be eliminated.

* A SAS or PHX loss automatically eliminates them. For PHX to qualify for the play-in, MEM or POR has to lose. For SAS to qualify for the play-in, any two among MEM, POR and PHX have to lose.

Most likely POR will end up as the 8th seed after the play-in tournament, pero sana it will face PHX instead of MEM.

Updated playoff picture:

https://stats.nba.com/playoffpicture/

The EC matchups are set, regardless of the results of the remaining games. Only the matchup between MIA and IND seems competitive. MIL, TOR and BOS should advance.

In the WC, LAL, LAC, DEN and HOU (as division champion) have locked up the top seeds, while DAL is sure to be the 7th seed. With UTA sitting out key players tomorrow against the Spurs, OKC is likely to clinch the 5th seed and face HOU. All these WC matchups - LAL-whoever, LAC-DAL, HOU-OKC, DEN-UTA - are going to be exciting to watch.

2020 NBA Playoffs First Round schedule. Starts Tuesday morning PH time:

[oznola]

Giannis suspended a game after head butting Moe Wagner

[oznola]

Perfect time for a Whiteside reboot! Nice to see him finally getting off the slump.

[Wiggum]

This POR-BKN game is turning out to be more competitive than I expected. BKN is trying to pull away in Q4, but Damian Lillard is making sure this won't happen.

[newwaveboy]

TRAILBLAZERS suddenly missing Ariza ........... NETS Levert going wild.

[oznola]

Damn! Almost! What a game!

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Panalo Blazers!

[synchro_01]

CLV!!!!! who needs Kyrie or KD.  Matagal nang ganyan laro nyan. Na injure lang sya for the most part of his career. Parang si MPJ ng Nuggets.

Portland seems to be the headed in a collision with the Lakers.  This is going to be a great 1st round match up.

[paolorenzo]

So twice to beat na ang Blazers? Kasi sila na #8?

Yes, Levert (and Dinwiddie, Allen, etc) has been a very good piece for the young NETS .............. reasons that KD & Kyrie chose the NETS during free-agency.

Though IMO the firing of Atknison was off .......... just to please KD and/or Kyrie.

[Wiggum]

^^ Yup, the Grizzlies fall to 9th. Formality na lang yung play-in game on Sunday. The Blazers should advance. Sayang ang Suns.

Lillard deserves to be the Seeding Games MVP. The First Team should include Booker, Doncic, Harden. Ewan ko na sino panglima.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Si KD meron daw matatanggap $1M bonus dahil pumasok Nets sa playoffs kahit hindi dahil sa kanya

Yeah, I feel bad for DBook.  They did everything right, sweeping all games.  At the mercy of others na lang talaga sila, from the onset.  I think they have something really good to look forward to.  They should enjoy fishing now.

Meron ba talaga bubble MVP?!

Ok lang yung acquisition ni KD eh. Yung Kyrie signing and medyo di ok.  Proven na ineffective as a leader yang si Kyrie.

Yup. The NBA will announce the awardees before the play-in game on Sunday. TJ Warren pala should also be voted to the first team.

[JeromeA]

Sayang ang effort ng 0 loss sa bubble ng suns.nauwi sa wala.

Pag bumalik na si kyrie lalagapak na naman yang nets..

[oznola]

Sayang ang effort ng 0 loss sa bubble ng suns.nauwi sa wala.

that's one way of looking at it negatively. but if you look at it positively, they gained so much more compared to the rest of the teams.

And they will only be better and more prepared come next season. i hope they stay intact and healthy.

pinagbigyan pa kasi ng bucks kanina ang griz eh..
