There are four scenarios that can happen tonight as Philly and Boston also square off in Tank Warz.
1.) A Utah win and Boston win is expected. This is the most likely scenario. It is acceptable, but not necessarily desirable. The worse we end up is tied for 5th, but likely end up in a two way tie for 4th with LA.
2. ) A Utah win and Boston loss is the second most likely result. While not as devastating as it seems, it would be least desirable putting us into a 3-way tie for fourth, and likely finish the season all tied as well.
If you're curious to know what the lottery odds are for a 3-way tie at the fourth spot, they are 9% (1st pick) 9.8% (2nd pick) 10.7% (3rd). Not too shabby right? yes and no. If our lottery balls don't pop up we are the mercy of a coin toss for positioning. If we fail as usual on the toss and are ruled 6th seed, we could be picking 8th if two teams under us jumped into the lottery. There is even an astronomical chance at 9.
3.) A Utah loss and Boston loss would be quite unlikely, but equivalent to the first option, except we likely end up in a two way tie for 4th with Boston.
4.) A Utah loss and Boston win will be pure bliss and secure us #4 all alone regardless of the last game. This isn't going to happen.....
Anyways, lets have a look at the Pau Gasol retina cam as he arrives on the floor at ESA
