Lakers better wake up or my Thunder will be stealing away that 2 seed. They couldn't hang last night. Better wake up soon.

Lakers and Celtics playing hilariously similar to their season finishes last season.

Celtics I think don't have that same chemistry since that trade. Still think they have a decent shot at the finals because Orlando is garbage and I don't buy into the Heat in the playoffs. Sad that the Celtics are relying on two washed up O'Neals staying healthy though

That gamble is gonna cost them. Their bigs won't maintain I'm afraid.

Spurs vs lakers tommorow is a big game.

I have to agree with LA here Freak. The are 1 of the few teams that seeds arent very important.

I meant big for the Bulls. If the Lakers win we get the number 1 overall seed.

Oh Ok. Yeah number 1 seed for the Bulls is huge.

Lucky ass Mavs beat the Rockets in OT to stay 1 game up on the Thunder.

Thunder are the 4 seeds and will play Denver in the first round. Good luck it's going to be a tough series.

Why do you say that? They can still go all the way up to the 2 seed. We own the tie breaker over Dallas and I think over LA too.

No Dallas and Lakers own the tie-breakers.

No I know for sure Thunder own it over Dallas. I'm not too sure about LA. But I'm sure about Dallas.

Dallas won the season series 2-1.

"If the Thunder win and the Mavericks lose, Oklahoma City moves into the third slot because it defeated Dallas 2-0 in the season series. The Lakers have two games remaining, including the season finale in Sacramento."

That is wrong. Same conference teams play each other a minimum of 3 games each season. I posted the box scores for you.

I don't know why it says that? But they keep telling me we own the tie breaker? Even heard it on ESPN.

I posted the box scores from the NBA website. You can't get better proof than that. You won the series against Denver I know that for sure.

Scottie Pippen's already done it before

OK so I figured it out. OKC does own the tie breaker over Dallas since OKC won their division and Dallas didn't. So if OKC wins and Dallas loses tonight, OKC is the 3 seed.

Didn't know that rule and thought it was based on head to head. Better for the Thunder to get the 4 seed anyway.

I guess it would be head to head if they both won the division.

Thunder lost so it doesn't matter.
