NBA Cup 2010 (Full Table + Zenith Bracket)
Dallas emerges on top via PPG in a tightly contested five-team race featuring Dirk, the Spurs’ Big Three, Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, and Deron Williams, setting up a compelling Zenith week.
Top 8 Seeds:
(C) Dallas Mavericks - 167 Points (2.06 PPG)
San Antonio Spurs - 169 Points (2.01 PPG)
Orlando Magic - 167 Points (1.98 PPG)
Los Angeles Lakers - 165 Points (1.96 PPG)
Utah Jazz - 163 Points (1.96 PPG)
Oklahoma City Thunder - 157 Points (1.87 PPG)
Miami Heat - 160 Points (1.86 PPG)
Denver Nuggets - 145 Points (1.79 PPG)
Notes: GP discrepancy decides seeding, league would ideally build schedule specifically to avoid this. The Lakers and Jazz meet again in a Zenith quarterfinal at Staples for the fourth time (also a ‘10 WCSF rematch), with the Lakers hosting based on regulation wins as the third tiebreaker (1.964 PPG, 2-2 H2H). The Spurs & Heat renew their Zenith QF matchup from 2005 and 2006 previously appearing as 1v8 and 4v5, while Dallas vs. Denver marks a 2007 Zenith QF rematch as a 1v8 pairing once again.
