What else can change?
1Lakers, 2Hornets are set. I think 3San Antonio and 4Utah can flip-flop. 5Houston and 6Phoenix can flip-flop. Can 8Denver overtake 7Dallas? I don't know the tie-breaker rules in the NBA.

1 Head-to-head
2 Conference Record
3 vs. Teams ultimately at-or-over .500
4 Head-to-Head cumulative point differential
5 vCoin toss (tied teams listed alphabetically above) - 
Dallas is 1-2 against Denver so yes if Dallas loses its season finale and Denver wins they will be 7th seed...
Utah, Houston and Phoenix are all tied with Spurs 1 game in front of them. Utah has a tie breaker over Spurs so they can move up to 3. Houston has a tie breaker over Phoenix. Phoenix is in the worst shape because out those teams they only hold tie breaker over Spurs - who are 1 game ahead of them so they hold all teh cards.

From Wikipedia:
Tiebreakers
(1) Head-to-head
(2) Division record (if the teams are in the same division)
(3) Conference record
(4) Record vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(5) Record vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(6) Net points, all games

Ohh lord, tonight it was the David West show.
As with other playoff series, the home advantage continues for each side.

Im surprised that this hasnt been mentioned
| ESPN.com wrote: |
NEW YORK -- Disgraced basketball referee Tim Donaghy told investigators in the NBA betting probe that relationships among officials, coaches and players "affected the outcome of games," his attorney said. The league said the charges were unfounded.
Donaghy
Donaghy's attorney made the assertions in a letter filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on Monday, in which he argued that his client should be sentenced to probation because he fully cooperated with prosecutors and has been undergoing treatment for his gambling addiction.
The attorney also suggested that Donaghy told investigators about the gambling activities of other NBA officials and about a referee who passed "confidential" information to an unidentified coach.
The attorney, John F. Lauro, wrote that the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District agreed to plea agreements with other defendants in the case, even though his client told investigators about NBA matters outside of the government's initial investigation. Lauro said the disparity in treatment could not be fully explained because prosecutors have "surrounded this case with a cone of silence."\
The U.S. attorney's office said Tuesday it has no comment.
In a footnote, the attorney suggested that the NBA might have "pressured" the attorney's office "into shutting down this prosecution to avoid the disclosure of information unrelated to Tim's conduct."
"The letter filed today on Mr. Donaghy's behalf contains an assortment of lies, unfounded allegations, and facts that have been previously acknowledged, such as the fact that certain NBA referees engaged in casino gambling in violation of NBA rules," said Joel Litvin, the NBA president for league and basketball operations, in a statement. "The letter is the desperate act of a convicted felon who is hoping to avoid prison time."
Lauro took exception to Litvin's response, saying the league should consider the information Donaghy willingly gave to investigators rather than vilify his client.
"The remarks by NBA president Joel Litvin were unfortunate and ill-advised," Lauro said in a statement released Tuesday. "Rather than seeking to implement much-needed reforms, the NBA has chosen instead to attack the messenger. Following a thorough and exhaustive investigation, federal law enforcement officials have concluded that Tim provided honest and trustworthy assistance to them.
"If the NBA takes issue with any of Tim's cooperation, then perhaps it should release the results of an internal investigation conducted by its counsel over the last year."
Donaghy, 42, pleaded guilty last August to felony charges for taking cash payoffs from gamblers and betting on games he officiated. Donaghy's sentencing was pushed back to July 14 on Monday; by law, he faces up to 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine, though the term could be much lower under sentencing guidelines.
While citing Donaghy's commitment to his family, charitable activities and positive feedback for his career as a referee prior to his "tragic fall from grace," his attorney said that his client's "aberrant conduct" can be understood only in the context of his gambling addiction, a "crippling disease, which prevented him from exercising complete rational self control."
Lauro wrote that Donaghy is taking steps to get treatment for his condition, including therapy with a gambling counselor and attending Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
"Without a doubt, Tim made significant errors in judgment, but he also tried to right the wrongs of his conduct by assisting the government and seeking treatment for his disorder," Lauro wrote. |

Long story short, Donaghy says that betting scandal extended beyond him, and NBA says he is just desperate to get less jail time.

YB-
I have to say, David Stern has done an excellent job of squashing this scandal. This was supposed to potentially be the undoing of the NBA- yet there's been little reported since the initial story.
There needs to be a serious investigation to see if what he is saying is true, that outcomes were effected- and an extensive search of anyone and everyone involved, in order to clean it up.
For now, we'll run back to Roger Clemens and Spy Gate, which both have taken the front seat over this one.

Stern has done a great job, but like you said this story takes a back seat to Spy Gate and steroids, which definitely made Stern's job easier in getting rid of this scandal.
I think that these new accusations from Donaghy will cause an investigation, and I think it will ultimately squash this scandal.
