The initial draft of the NBA playoffs has already been scripted so based on how tonights games go will give us a very good insight on how the playoffs will be rigged, because they will get the 1st round matchups and seeds they want.
For example if Houston falls to 6th it means the NBA does not want Houston winning any series and wants them out early. If they stay in the 2/3 range it means the NBA wants Houston to advance.
