JAZZ/ROCKETS REMATCH
Either I'm blind or stupid. Help me out here:
Jazz play Houston 3 times during the regular season, and won two out of those three. The Jazz are seeded higher...and the homecourt advantage in the playoffs goes to.....Houston!!?? WTF?!It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I think it has to do with the records.
Jazz: 54-28
Houston: 55-27
Had the Jazz won they would have finished 55-27 also. And because they have the better series match up they'd win the tie breaker and have home court advantage. Same would have happened if Houston lost and finished 54-28.
Now why Jazz 4th seed & Houston 5th seed? Maybe there is a rule where a division winner can't be lower than 4th??

Either way, even IF we beat the Rockets in the first round again, the Jazz will most likely get the Spurs in the second round, and that's where they will choke -- and you can take that to the bank. The Jazz are the Spurs' bitch -- and San Antonio knows it.
Seriously, if the Jazz get the Spurs in the second round, I'll take $500 bones to Vegas and drop it all on the Spurs without a moment's hesitation.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

WHOA!! NBA.com screwed up there. The current brackets that you posted have been corrected. I logged on very early this morning to NBA.com, (around 6:00am), and they didn't have the brackets posted up yet. I checked back again at around 7:30, and they had that identical bracket posted, except, they had the Jazz seeded at number 2, and Houston seeded at number 7. I wondered how the heck the Jazz had gotten so high, and the Rockets so low, but I figured NBA.com should know...right?
Someone got shaken down for that one.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I think that the Jazz may have laid down and lost on purpose last night just so they wouldn't have to play the Spurs in the first round because they know they can't beat them. So lets just hope somebody else takes them out before we have to play them.
GO JAZZ!!!
