So...it's the final game of the year, it's at 10:30 in the morning (!!), and the only reason I'll be watching is because I don't get to go in to work anyway.
Normally for a game like this draft standing might be on the line, but with records for the draft frozen at pre-bubble standings, it won't make any difference. However, our spot in the lotto is still not set in stone. If either San Antonio or Phoenix gets the final playoff spot, we will have a coin flip with New Orleans for the 11/12 spots in the lottery, if the final playoff spot goes to Portland or Memphis, wee will have a coin flip with New Orleans for the 12/13 spots in the lottery.
To simplify this four team race (without going into the details of tie-breakers) Portland leads Memphis leads Phoenix leads San Antonio. They all play today but none play each other. The top-seeded team to win "hosts" the play-in game(s) from the 8 slot, the next-best-seeded team to win "challenges" in the play-in game(s) from the 9 slot.
