Not possible. There are two play-in tournaments, one for each conference. And only, if 9th seed is within 4 games of 8th seed. I guess mess will be, if there will be a couple of teams with same number of wins on 9th spot. Totally possible for the Western conference.
To elaborate on my previous doubts. Mavs are 40-27 at this point and both OKC and Houston are 40-24. If Mavs finish 5-3 and the other two with 4-4, Mavs will have 45-30 while OKC and Houston 44-28. Who is better?
[(wins-losses)-(wins-losses)]/2
In your scenario, Dallas would be behind OKC and Hou. Dal will have to win 2 more games than both or either team to get ahead of them.
Houston has: LaL, Por, Sac, Dal, Mil, Ind, Phi, Tor
OKC has: Uta, Was, Mem, Den, Mia, Den, Pho, LaC
Dallas has: Pho, LaC, Sac, Por, Pho, Hou, Uta, Mil
That Hou/Dal game could be the deciding game forefront leapfrog Hou. OKC is gonna have dome dog fights too. Not many push overs or any team esp since Booker always seems to go off on the Mavs.
