2012-13 | Playoff Race

[Thunder GM (Tiago)]

We are sorting the 16 playoff teams, and will send you guys an email (And a PM) with the league invite.

We will set every lienup today, if you aren't able to join in time.

Teams tied:

IND gets the #2 seed due to being 3-1 against teams in their own conference that made the playoffs and PHI being 3-5. (tiebraker #4)

ORL gets the #4 seed due to being 5-3 against teams in their own conference that made the playoffs and BOS being 3-5. (tiebraker #4)


From the East, the Playoff teams are:

Miami Heat*	14	4
Indiana Pacers*	13	5
Philadelphia 76ers*	13	5
Orlando Magic	13	5
Boston Celtics	13	5
Atlanta Hawks	12	6
Chicago Bulls	11	7
Cleveland Cavaliers	10	8

In the west there are 4 teams tied for the 8th and final PO spot.

DEN
MIN
LAL
NOH

We said from the start that we would go with the real tiebreakers from the NBA.

But now we have an issue with this. Every tiebreaker for the NBA has the assumption that every tied team had the same number of games inside their conference.

In our case, this is not true. LAL played only 8 games inside the WEST and the other 3 teams played 18.

This will give us some strange results in the tiebreakers, but it's the only way to go. Since it's a winning % and not a total W, we will go with it.

MORE THAN TWO TEAMS TIED - 4

1. If applicable, division champions must be determined first.

2. Better winning percentage in all games among the tied teams.

3. Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if all tied teams are in same division).

4. Better winning percentage against teams in own conference.

DEN - 0,500
MIN - 0,500
NOH - 0,500
LAL - 0,375

So now, we have 3 teams tied, but since they were all from the same ESPN league, we can use the winning record between them.

MORE THAN TWO TEAMS TIED - 3

1. If applicable, division champions must be determined first.

2. Better winning percentage in all games among the tied teams.

MIN - 0,750
DEN - 0,500
NOH - 0,250


So the Minnesotta Timberwolves are the 8th seed in the West.

The tie-breakers between PHO and GSW as been decided due to their matchup (1 win for PHO 6-3 and a tie, eventually resulting in a GSW win).



The Western PO teams are:

Team	Wins	Losses	Win %
San Antonio Spurs*	17	1	0,944
Oklahoma City Thunder*	14	4	0,778
Sacramento Kings*	13	5	0,722
Phoenix Suns	12	6	0,667
Golden State Warriors	12	6	0,667
Portland Trailblazers	11	7	0,611
Memphis Grizzlies	10	8	0,556
Minnesotta Timberwolves	9	9	0,500
