Blazers could get the #3 seed

Philipp a friend of the show has his own thoughts on how the West will finish out this season. I'm sure Blazers fan will be happy.

According to my calculations, the best the blazers can do is the 3rd seed according to the tie breakers. I think I understand the tie breakers but here is my scenario in which the blazers face the Mavs with home court advantage. The following games have to be won in that order with in order to have this scenario take place.

#1 seed – Lakers (56-26)
#2 seed – Jazz (52-30) – Wins tie breaker vs Suns due to head to head, Wins tie breaker vs Blazers due to head to head.
#3 seed – Blazers (52-30) – Wins tie break vs Suns due to head to head, Co-Division camps again :)
#4 seed – Spurs (51-31) – Guaranteed top 4 seed due to Division winner, Wins tie breaker vs Mavs due to head to head
#5 seed – Suns (52-30) – Has better record than Spurs so has homecourt advantage
#6 seed – Mavs (51-31) – Wins tie break vs Nuggets due to head to head
#7 seed – Nuggets (51-31)
#8 seed – Thunder (50-32)

Yup it’s going to happen.
