Analysis The Race for Home-Court Advantage - 25/26 Playoffs Seed Tracker

[spurraider21]

Spurs and Nuggets both win tonight. While beating LA might feel less satisfying considering they were without LeBron/Reaves, it’s still a big win when it comes to the standings.

Don’t want to jinx it, but Houston is also down 7 to Portland with 6 minutes left.

OKC had to come back in the 4th to tie it up and beat the Jazz in OT

Amen going to the line down 4 with 32 seconds to go in POR.

C’mon Blazers.

 

[scott]

Blazers smartly foul up 3, and KD is talking shit to Splitter for not letting it play out. KD is the softest tough guy in history

 

[scott]

And… the Blazers may be choking this one away. Challenge on the floor that I think HOU might win to give them a steal and a chance to win

 

[scott]

Houston wins the challenge and has the ball down 1 with 5 seconds to play.

by the skin of their teeth tbh

Wow, Portland barely escaped. Eason tipped it in for the game winner but was just barely late. Didn’t beat the buzzer.

Let’s go!

Spurs-esque ending there for Portland tbh Except we would’ve allowed the tip to beat the buzzer.

 

[Splits]

if we go the remainder of the season 24-21 that's a 50 win season, which was good for 3/4/5 seeds last year. hopefully we play better than that, but a reference point on how good we've actually been so far.

 

[brazil]

Standings are fucking tight from 2nd to 7th, everybody at 11 to 13 L which is nothing and Spurs have a rough stretch of games to play (Boston, Timber twice, Bucks, OKC and the rockets Jan 20th)

 

[LeBowen]

Celtics play the Raptors tonight, we really need to win that game tomorrow, no excuses with extra days of rest.
And we should be a bad matchup for them considering their big rotation.

Timberwolves b2b looks bad, but they'll also be on a b2b, flying back home from Cleveland.
We're the deeper team and shouldn't be at a disadvantage.

I'm actually quite concerned that we're going to see Neemias Queta go off on us on the boards. He had 20 last game out against DEN and is a 95th percentile ORB% and 91st percentile DRB%. Getting Mitchell Robinson in the cup finals flashbacks already.

Damn, I missed that he has 20 against the Nuggets, but that was without Jokic and Valanciunas.

I just hope that the minutes restriction nonsense is over. Might aswell play more Wemby/Kornet minutes if noone can hit a 3, anyway.

Btw, someone open the Celtics GT.
