Potential playoff scandal

In today's Per Diem, John Hollinger notes (Insider) that there's a small chance something really outlandish will happen in this year's playoff seedings. The Lakers and Clippers are candidates to finish with the ninth-best record in the West, but make the playoffs anyway, because of a rule that has never been invoked. Hollinger writes: It's possible that the Spurs, Mavs, Grizzlies, Rockets, Blazers, Nuggets, Thunder and Jazz could all finish with better records than any team in the Pacific Division .
