Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

That's nuts!

Wow LOL wtf this is a new one

 

[Sneakers]

Since the teams aren't all in the same division they have to look at conference record.

NO wait before it went to conference record it would do mutual head to head, right?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Hmm let me do the math

OKC against Jazz - 3-1
OKC against Blazers - 0-4
OKC against Spurs/Pelicans 2-2

Total - 5-7


Blazers against OKC - 4-0
Blazers against Jazz (in this scenario) 1-3
Blazers against Spurs 1-2
Blazers against Pelicans 2-2

Total 6-5 / 7-5

Jazz against OKC - 1-3
Jazz against Blazers (in this scenario) - 3-1
Jazz against Spurs/Pelicans - 3-1

7-5

.... **** this is hard lol

It should be conference record, not head-to-head record in a 4-way tie.

Let's confirm.

Source? For multi-way ties a division winner is the first tie-breaker.

WAIT you're right! (sorry for spamming...) even though it would be a four way tie, first the division winner would be determined as a 3 way tie between us, Portland and OKC, which Portland would win with the better head to head record. Then it would be a three way tie between us, OKC and SA/NO, which OKC would win and be 4th and we would be 5th and play OKC

First tie breaker in a multi-team tie is mutual head to head

Exactly. We are essentially locked into OKC unless they lose to Memphis or we go 0-2.

Locke did it and ruined our fun

The bizarre division 3 team tie breaker within a overall 4 team tie is definitely ****ing stupid and an archaic biproduct of pointless divisions

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Okay, I had it wrong. In a 4-way tie, they still go by record vs the other 3 teams.

it's like the worst matchup for us.
