And if they can't determine a winner by the sixth tiebreaker rule, rock/scissors/paper, best two out of three.

I think if they couldn't get a winner out of all of those tiebreakers, David Stern's head would literally explode.

its actually rock paper scissors...

Most commonly, yes. I don't know why I even chose that order since I usually call it rock/paper/scissors as well but I think it's pretty obvious which game I was referring to. It's not as though my post was accurate to begin with.
EDIT: Fixed typo.

I don't think it really matters. Especially when you start making up your own rules ("Dynamite beats rock! Water beats Dynamite!"). Rock/Paper/Scissors does have a better flow though.

It's ironic that point differential is the very last tiebreaker considering it's the best indication of how good a team is. Even better than win-loss record.
And Detroit will probably have the best record since they can't rest their starters as they don't have a bench.

Lol, i call it paper/scissors/rock
Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:12 pm
Yeah, it's rock, paper, scissors. I've heard people say it switching paper and rock.
But, yeah... What about 'atomic bomb / cockroach / foot'?

in australia im pretty sure it is paper scissors rock, but i refuse to conform to it... RPS all the way!! yeh woo
we used to use dynamite... its basically rock, but with your thumb up, and it beats everything.
Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:29 pm
I've always used rock, paper, scissors.
Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:32 pm
i actually used scissors paper rock, until I found out about the World RPS Tournament...

I've heard, that in the NFL, the very last tiebreaker is fliiping a coin. Not sure, but I think so. I wouldn't want my season to end like that, with a flip of a coin.

If it beats everything, there's no point to the game.
Oh, and to the original topic...I think the Mavs will take it.

My friend did that... but he uses 'God', he puts his wrist's together and makes his hand look like he holding a large ball, which I guess is the world.
I personally only use Rock (Good Ol' Rock, nothing beats rock), and everyone knows it too. Sadly to say... I don't win very much. Oh... but one day... when it is deciding something really important... that'll be the day... that'll be the day I surprise everyone and go with Scissors!

Uh uh...water beats it. Puts out the fuse.

Ah, the strange ways of youth...
Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:22 pm

Something like that. Would've been a lot easier if we'd stuck to the traditional rules.

My friend uses Rocket Launcher, by just raising your hands like your holding a rocket launcher on your shoulder
Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:57 am
Forgive the continued off-topic discussin everyone but...what beats rocket launcher?
Tue Mar 21, 2006 1:04 am
Nothing really, unless you have some sort of shield thingy like off Stargate, that big time/place sucker.
