    Re: Mavs or Hornets?

    I think I rather have the Hornets win because the Mavs have a chance to miss the playoffs and I'm almost sure the Hornets will make it. I just want the Blazers to make the playoffs and once they look for sure then I would root for the teams that might be ahead of us at the end to lose. It is close and I think it is a win win with either team winning or losing. So, I won't be upset no matter who wins.

    I love these win-win situations for us. But if I had to pick, I guess I would want the Mavs to win tonight.

    Hornets! The loss column is more important than the win column.

    Chandler has been putting up some good numbers since Oklahoma sent him back to NO in the same gift wrapping his was sent in. Looks like a bizaare scenario right now. NO gives away a good young defensive center, and Oklahoma ships him right back.

    Who to root for tonight?

    Two notable games happen tonight.

    Denver @ Utah

    Phoenix @ Houston

    All off these guys are bunched in with us seperated by a measley .5 - 1 game difference.

    If Denver loses it gets us closer to the #1 spot but it on the other hand puts Utah even closer and puts their win streak at 10 which is a huge confidence booster.

    You can want Phoenix to lose to push them further out, but if Houston wins it just makes their record even better. Or is Phoenix so done for that we can comfortably root for them to beat Houston?

    Re: Who to root for tonight?

    PHX is hurting but far from done, you gotta root for HOU in that game

    Gotta root for Utah in the other since that makes first place not as far away. Utah knows they are good, one more game added to the win streak wont change that

    edit: you know, I change my mind...Utah is better than DEN and will win the division IMO. They are the team to catch in the long run (of 20 games) so root for DEN!!!

    I hope PHX loses every game they play the rest of the season. I just want the Blazers to make the playoffs.

    Man, I'll tell you what. I can't drive down the highway without seeing:

    this city ½ mi.
    that city 2 mi.

    ...and thinking about how many games back my city is at that time.

    Denver @ Utah

    Phoenix @ Houston

    I'm not rooting for the bolded, though. I am hoping that the other team loses.

    Re: Merged: Who do we root for?

    Yep. For me, every team that plays the team in the 9th spot is my second favorite team that day. Unless, of course, the Blazers slip to 9th. ;)
