SA ...wins their last 4 (PORT, LAC, PORT, DEN) ...#3
SAC ... loses to LA plus one more (road games @PHO, DEN, GS)
DAL ...finishes 5 with a win vs MEM, but they need to go 4-0 also for momentum
MEM
HOU
DEN ...with the above scenario, home wins over PORT and SAC will wrap up the #8 slot.

Well looky looky looky, what do we have here in the NBA playoff schedule? Does it look suspiciously like the above fantasy schedule that was offered almost a week ago?
Well, let's call that part 1 ...now what does part 2 need to be? Lets repeat below ......

LA gets its nightmare matchup in HOU
SA gets its nightmare matchup in MEM (MEM won the season series 3-1)
SAC - DAL ...Mavs can beat a faltering Kings team, and then push the altitude-tired TWolves (that they match up well with anyhow) in a running game
In this world, the survivor of the LA-SA bracket will have had to wade through their mightmare matchup plus (most likely) the grind of SA-LA basketball.
Then here comes the "run your legs off" Mavs team.
