Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

We made the Playoffs.



Yep. It's true. We actually won all of our games, and made the playoffs. We then took the Spurs to a 7-game series, where we won on their turf with Kyle Lowry making the game-winning buzzer beater. We then swept our way into the Western Conference finals where Yao Ming miraculously came back and put up 30-30 stats. We then took home the 2010-2011 Trophy, cementing Rick Adelman's career as a coach, and Daryl Morey's reliability as a GM. 

Too bad David Stern couldn't handle that, so he built his time machine and carefully and maliciously planned for our destruction. He started it off by kidnapping our 100% healthy Yao Ming, replaced him with a double, and paid him off to fake his injury. Yao Ming's current whereabouts, are unknown. He then paid Manu Ginobli to injure Aaron Brooks, (This almost backfired on him, which caused him a couple more white patches of hair.)

Then, you guys already know the rest of the story, where David Stern and his goonies slowly encroached upon our hideout, laying waste to our only defense. So, we made our final stand, the Argentinian Tango, Speed Racer, Chuckwagon and the Bull Dog, stood side by side accepting their fate. Let it be known that we almost made the playoffs, had it not be for the dastardly malicious David Stern. But, fear not, for this is a hero's tale, and it will not end in tragedy.

Our heroes will survive, and they will come back to save this apocalyptic world. In the mean time, watch some baseball, do your homework. We didn't make the playoffs, it was a good run though. Go Rockets!

Last Night's Game...

It was like watching the entire season collapsing as it pretty much did from the very beginning. Another winnable game lost by poor offensive decision, inability to step up the D when it counts, and to put fork in it all it was against Landry and Ariza… BOOOO.

Aren't we still not technically eliminated?

If we win out and the Grizz drop the rest of their games, we end with the same record. And we have the tie-breaker. I’m not saying that this would happen in a million years though.

All right, later dudes. S you in your A’s, don’t wear a C, and J all over your B’s.

Our margin for error was one game.

Then we lost that game against New Orleans. Tiebreaker doesn’t mean shit when you have to go in this order:

Overall Record (Tie)
Division Record (Grizzlies)
Tiebreaker (Us)

We lose on the second step.

If I'm reading it correctly...

I think you are right. Here are the tiebreaker steps according to

http://www.nba.com/statistics/playoff_picture.html

TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games

And...

We would fall into the situation provided by “a.” posted two ‘paragraphs’ below the tie-breaker list.

reply fail

we’re technically not eliminated… but you really can’t expect the grizzlies to lose their remaining four games:

SAC, NO, POR, LAC
