Rumors are flying about the NBA’s tiebreaker rules, which will definitely not favor the New Orleans Pelicans if they tie with the Trail Blazers.
The New Orleans Pelicans throttled the Portland Trail Blazers in all four games they played this season, but it may not matter.
According to Tim Bontemps from ESPN, the NBA has decided to use winning percentage as the determining factor in any ties after the eight game finale to the season.
This is extremely unfair to the New Orleans Pelicans, as it means they would lose any tiebreaker to the Portland Trail Blazers, as the Blazers have played more games and would have a slightly better winning percentage.
