First of all lets look at the playoff tiebreakers:
In the event two or more teams are tied in the standings, a series of tiebreakers are applied to determine which team receives the higher seeding.
Two-Team Tiebreaker: 1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division) 2. Better record in head-to-head games 3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division) 4. Higher winning percentage in conference games 5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference 6. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference 7. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed
Three-Team Tiebreaker: 1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division) 2. Best head-to-head winning percentage among all teams tied 3. Highest winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division) 4. Highest winning percentage in conference games 5. Highest winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference 6. Highest point differential between points scored and points allowed
Now, we look at UTA-NOP tiebreaker to decide which team advances to the PO.
Tiebreakers 1,2,3 doesn't apply.
Tiebreaker 4:
NOP 4-4 UTAH 9-9
Tiebreaker 5:
NOP 0-4 UTAH 1-9
So, UTAH is #8 seed in the West

Their tie goes to Tiebreaker 4:
DAL 7-1 PHO 12-6
So DAL is #4 and PHO is #5

Every PO team should have an invite in their mailbox, from a few hours ago.
If you don't, please let us know.

The fact that I spent 1-2 hours with the league configuration but then forgot to set my own lineup yesterday, surely isn't going to help

Potential upset in the Western Conference 1st round: #6 GSW vs #3 OKC #5 PHO vs #4 DAL Potential upset in the Eastern Conference 1st round: #7 CHI vs #2 CHA #6 MIL vs #3 BOS Add me to the list: #7 LAC vs #2 SAS I'm impressed with Dallas hanging in there with Phoenix too. The most exciting matchup though is still Indy-Detroit. Whoever wakes up first.

I like "whoever wake up first". But Pacers have an edge now, bc of homecourt advantage, haha.
