3 stacked teams.
How do you think it will end up?
The 6th seed would be best served by far, not just avoiding one of the other in R2 but also having an easier R2 not playing the Nuggets, although the Lakers might be in that slot.
But I dont expect any of these teams to intentionally tank to drop to a certain seed.
Although the Clippers do have a history of doing it, 2 years ago if anyone can remember:

These teams are seperated by half a game. Suns got the tiebreaker against both (could end 2-2 against LAC). LAC have the tiebreaker against GSW due to Division record :rolleyes:
Suns: 39-35
@ Utah: W
vs Minnesota: W - Durant back?
vs Denver: W - Durant back!
@ OKC: W
vs San Antonio: W
vs Denver: W
@ Lakers: L
vs Clippers: W
46-36
GSW: 39-36
vs Minnesota: W
vs New Orleans: W
vs San Antonio: W
@ Denver: L
vs OKC: W
@ Sac: W (depends how much they want this, but Sac might be resting starters also)
@ Portland: W (depends how much they want this on a b2b, but Portland probably playing scrubs)
45-37
LAC:
vs Chicago: W
@ Memphis: L
@ Memphis: L
@ New Orleans: L
vs Lakers: L
vs Portland: W
@ Phoenix: L
41-41
I hope this is about the way it goes down.
