We are 23-57, Clipps are 23-56, and Memphis is 22-57 with a game left against Minnesota.

Assuming we dont win anymore games and neither does Clips (games left only against playoff teams) and Memphis gets the Minny game. How do they decide? I know in a two way tie its a coin toss. So does it still remain a coin toss with three teams tied?

As I said in another thread, we were swept by both the Griz and the Clips so we should win the tie-breaker and finish 4th.

a 3 way tie is very very possible.

we loose the next 2... Boston and Indiana

Clips loose out

and Memphis can easily beat Minny tomorrow

I think 4th place is very important... big difference in % from 6th.. plus i just have a way better feeling about being 4th with our chances at getting a top 2 pick

We really need Memphis to win tomorrow. Minnesota has Memphis, Detroit, and Milwaukee left. They have a chance at beating Milwaukee. Who knows what that would do.

that could be a possible 4 way tie. We tied the series with Minnesota. How would 3rd place be determined then..LOL. All these hypotheticals are amusing.

No. Lottery does not factor in head to head matchups. That is for playoffs only. Ties for the lottery are broken by random drawing.

it's gonna take some luck...

i can't believe they let it come down to a coin flip... teams with tied records should just get the same number of ping pong balls.

--->In the event that teams finish with the same record, each tied team receives the average of the total number of combinations for the positions --Should the average number not be an integer, a coin flip is then used to determine which team or teams receive the extra combination(s).


This means if we tie for 4th place with three teams--lets say Memphis NY LA each team will get the same number of balls sans one team which will get one more ball. For instance if the 4th place team gets 119 PPB's 5th place gets 88 and 6 place 63 PPB they split them up evenly with one team getting the one extra ping from a coin flip. So odds wise if we do lose the last two games---we have odds of a team that finishes 5 if there is indeed a 3 way tie.

Now lets say NONE of the three get lucky to enter the top 3 positions a coin flip determines who picks 4-6 or worse depending on the lottery results.
