#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Original Order
You'll have until 8:00 PM Central today (3/17/2020) to post what you think the order is. First one to get it right gets 5 points. If nobody gets it right, closest to the proper order gets 1 point. Only one guess per person, but you can edit your guess. I will accept your least correct guess that's on the board at 8pm. If you have access to the main node, you cannot play.

Full order will be revealed after the 8pm deadline. Hints may be revealed before then.

So, what did it mean?

The team listed in a particular spot (e.g. stegguN revneD at 12) that ended up in a particular spot (e.g. the Pelicans at 12) were the last team that the lotto team played where the game was decided by that many points.

If the clue team was backwards, it means the lotto team LOST that game. Forward, it means the lotto team WON that game.
