If the Rockets lose in OKC
If they win the Jazz wants to win and Portland to lose.
We lost all 4 games against OKC.

Well there’s this so...
If the Rockets win against OKC then Portland is locked in as the 4 seed and we are locked into the 5th seed and it won't matter weather us or the Blazers win or lose our final two games.
If we lose out and Clips win out we fall to 6 right?
Clippers are 3 games behind us so they cant catch us. The only way we could fall to 6 is if OKC wins out and we lose out. As long as the Rockets beat OKC tomorrow night we cant drop below 5th and Portland can't rise above 4th.

Not true. If we win both games and Portland loses both games we get tie breaker and take 4th.

Problem is we can’t just wait and see who wins between rockets and thunder cause their game starts 30 min after ours with denver

This is technically true but also highly unlikely. We play two very good playoff teams and Portland plays the Lakers and Kings.

I think the easiest thing is to just root for Houston tomorrow. And play our regular game.
If OKC beats Houston then we can throw against the Clips if it suits us.

It’s easy.
Just lean into it
Omg, the nausea now, I can’t see out of my left eye!!!
Saw this awesome chart on Reddit.
So Houston has to lose AND Portland has to go 2-0.
Damnit, why don’t the Blazers face OKC, Clips or Spurs!!!

Damn it. Why did Utah screw the pooch against a Laker team missing so many players? Jazz created their own mess.

Important note: we may want to lose against the Clippers to drop to 6th if OKC wins out, but both Portland and OKC may decide to throw away their last games too. This brings ridiculous but plausible scenarios like this one I posted on another thread:
OKC beats Houston, Utah loses to Denver, and:
Season finale
02:00
A) OKC loses @ Milwaukee (Mil probably resting players) finishing 6th. *They may prefer 6th*. Look out, because if OKC loses, the Blazers choose oponent for themselves, Houston, OKC, and Utah with their game vs Sacramento: if they win it's Portland-OKC and Houston-Utah. If they lose it's Portland-Utah and Houston-OKC.
B) OKC wins @ Milwaukee, vying for the 5th seed.
1 GS
2 Den
3 Hou 53-29
4 Por 52-29 vs Sac (holds the tiebreaker over Hou)
5 Uta 49-32 @LAC
6 OKC 49-33 (holds the tiebreaker over Utah)
7 SA 48-34 (holds the tiebreaker over LAC)
8 LAC 47-34
04:30 Utah @ Clippers (Clippers then locked at 8th, could rest players)
04:30 Portland vs Sacramento
Utah wins = 5th / Utah loses = 6th
Portland wins = 3rd / Portland loses = 4th
Both teams playing at the same time, and both results creating different matchups: Utah-Houston / Portland-OKC or Utah-Portland and Houston-OKC.
Both teams can choose their seeding, but they can't choose their opponent, because it depends on the other game too.
Madness. This madness is over if Houston beats OKC.

I don’t think that loss is going to end up having any effect on where we’re seeded. Guess we’ll see though
